for so long, i was convinced that my life was just meant to be hard. i actually noticed this pattern where one monumental bad thing would happen to me every year. i experienced so much trauma as a teenager and in my early 20s that i was just convinced it would constantly keep happening. and i had no choice but to accept it and brace myself for it. at one point, i let myself feel the trauma and the pain and release it. and i learned that i didn’t have to carry other’s trauma and make it mine. i’ve learned to deal with trauma in a more healthy way in the past couple of years. and this is my constant reminder. i deserve an easy life. a fun life full of ease. and even when it’s hard, it’s not for forever, and i refuse to let it destroy me.💗 self care diaries: @kelly.marcelo @kelly.marcelo @kelly.marcelo #selfcare #selflove #selfcareroutine #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork #emotionalgrowth #selfcaretiktok
