"Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too."
DO celebrate your personal victories. celebrate the absolute shit out of your personal victories. you don’t need permission from anybody else in the world to be proud. YOU are the only guaranteed person who will be there for you from the day you’re born until the day you die, so you damn well better love yourself and be your own best cheer squad.
