"We’re cultured to believe that feelings are the enemy. That life should be breezy and smooth, that nothing should ‘get to us.’ That anger is destructive, that sadness is burdening, that loneliness is weakness. But that is so far from true. Our feelings point us to what we care about, to the life we’re desperate for, to what we’re willing to fight for." — Maria Shockey, “The Only Way Out is Through” (via twloha)

"I am more than my pain and my monsters. I am more than a number on a scale, my struggles with vulnerability, and the mistakes I’ve made. I am more than a diagnosis, my fears, and my insecurities. My story doesn’t only contain the dark chapters and the nights I have survived. My thoughts, feelings, ideas, choices, and triumphs all deserve a seat at the table, too. I am worthy of another morning, another soft pretzel, another journal entry, and another day to search for the good in myself." — Kaytlin Killion, “To My Monster: You Do Not Decide” (via twloha)
