Sicker Than Others Saving the Landfills, one Giant Plastic Toy At a Time

I borrowed the following from a friend. I’m taping it to my mirror.

I am allowed to advocate for myself. I have value and worth based on my existence alone.

I cannot control other people’s reactions to my behaviour. I do not have to take responsibility for them all the time.

I am still going to upset and piss people off sometimes. That is okay. It’s life. A misunderstanding does not make me a horrible, worthless person.

It is better for me to be myself, than to try unsuccesfully to be what I think everyone else wants me to be.

I will be happier and stronger if I act and speak from a place of truth within myself.

I have good values. I can defend them, although I don’t have to. I don’t have to warp my conversation to reflect other people values. If they reject me because of something I say that is their issue, not mine.
