i’m really proud of you guys, i feel like i don’t say that enough. there are so many ways you keep amazing me. please remind yourself: we’re each of us so familiar with our own quirks and talents, that it’s so so easy for us to view our traits and our selves as unremarkable when actually the right onlooker would be startled and impressed.
View yourself with as much sympathy as you would a beloved character. The people we love, in fiction and in life, are as flawed and limited as us, and we love them far more passionately than any theoretically ‘perfect’ person. You deserve to feel that way about yourself, I promise.
