find out how you feel cared for and loved then start doing it for yourself. I luv pampering myself and new experiences
my fave ways; taking myself to a movie (nitehawk is my fave for movie and food and maybe a lil drink), solo dining at your favorite spots or somewhere you’re dying to try, library dates, cafe dates, spa days (buy a day pass just to sauna and relax), dedicate an evening each week to a ritual just for yourself- this will strengthen feeling comfortable alone, finding new confidence to get out of your head plus you genuinely start missing your independence and how WELL you know yourself- having a weekly mandatory ritual made this sm easier and less awkward

Though some people might find this kind of depressing I actually see it as the opposite. It’s really been a while since I’ve done this but I see it necessary to go on a date with yourself once in a while. Go to a cafe, take a walk without any destination in mind, or you might as well go to the cinema on your own.
More than an act of self love I perceive it as a way to embrace solitude and get to know yourself more; It brings so much inner peace and helps to heal that part of yourself that finds loneliness daunting. There is a beauty in everything and solitude is not the exception.

i started going to the cinema by myself last year and its the best thing ever. I dont know why it scared me so much to do things alone, however doing things solo actually made my social anxiety better. I love just hanging out by myself now; going to the cinema; a nature walk; solo study date at a cafe. Doing things alone will heal something in you

i think pushing thru my fears and trying to be more comfortable with my independence has helped me romanticize my life sm.
you get to go watch any movie, brunch by yourself with a book in hand, go on long walks alone, take pictures everywhere you go!
i also suggest reading more esp poetry, and writing down those phrases that stick out to you or resonate <3

its literally my closet, i bought it bc i like it and want to wear it- why would i not rewear the outfit if it was a hit? forever thinking of that lizzie mcguire "well you're an outfit remember-er" quote

the internet needs less chaos and self serving agendas, no more arguing with blue check marks for rage bait and getting people paid who cannot stand 10 toes down on their beliefs. reverting back to writing out every single thought and belief I have inside a journal like its my mini manifesto
