Negate the Self Hate

You want to quit feeling sorry for your godforsaken existence? Shelf the negativity.
Look around you. The world is bountiful with plenty to be thankful for.
Put your heart on your sleeve. Proclaim your love for the unknown.
Bleed your heart free from the torment of failed infatuations. Embrace change.
Let your heart be smitten by the hearts of people whose warmth you’ve never felt before. Wander the streets of towns whose earth your feet have never tasted before.
Laugh your throat hoarse and cry your eyes dry without the slightest hesitation. Engage in uncharacteristic behavior. Progress is a seductress who asks you only for a fleeting moment of courage.
Unburden your thoughts from their self-imposed shackles of seclusion. Pick up a pen, a camera or a paintbrush and fight every last demon of yours until there are no more demons to fight or no more pens to write with.
Savour the smallest victory. Give yourself the satisfaction of celebrating the little things. Substantial accomplishments are only a series of little deeds strung together.
You want to quit feeling sorry for your godforsaken existence? Quit the skepticism.
You are but a fledgling soldier who got knocked down in his first battle. The road forward is a comprehensive one. Seize it.

(hi y'all I just spent the better part of the last 2 days constantly rewriting this its been quite a journey hehe. Anyways s/o to everyone who just managed to get out of bed today or brush your teeth or get some food in you before you got back in or even if you didn't get out of bed at all. Its a process, all of this and every step you take forward counts for something so keep at it! it does get better gradually so YES stay vigilant keep your head up. Until next time!)
