Just no.

You gave until it hurt.

It hurt so much it nearly destroyed you.

It's ok to be their and help out anytime you can but it's not ok to be treated less than.

Now its to  embrace and exercise the power of no.

Say no unapologetically.

No I won't keep being the clutch.

No I won't go somewhere I feel that I'm wanted.

No I can't help you move.

No I can't watch.

No I can run you.

No I can't sign for.

No  I can't loan you.

No I don't have time.

No you can't vent.

No can't help you with that menial task.

Don't even ask.

No.

No .

No.

Just no.

hits different.

 

You can dish it out but you can't take it.

It's cool as long as it's not happening to you.

It's all just  jokes until the jokes on you. 

Your so witty and have "so" much to say until it's time for you to have your day.

Your critical of others mistakes but when you mess up all the sudden it's no big deal.

Your quick to advise others on how they should feel but when your the one going through it all the sudden you can't deal.

It's easy to sit outside of the bubble and look but it always hits different when the shoes on the other foot.

Figure it out

 

Take a deep breath.

Don't stress.

You have plenty of time.

Play it out in your mind one step at time.

Remove all your anxiety.

Quite all your doubt.

You have the help and resources you need.

You can and will figure it out.

I know

 

Don't should on me.

Don't tell me what I "should" do.

I know me.

I know what I can do.

You do don't know the first thing about me.

You don't have a single clue.

If was to ask for your help or your feedback you wouldn't have anything to say.

Just do us both a favor and stay out of my way.

Charmers.

All smiles aren't friendly.

Every one in your circle isn't who they claim to be.

 Be more selective of who you choose to share things with.

Some people that claim they love secretly want to see you fail.

They'll give praise to face and secretly be plotting to take wind out of sails.

Just be silent and let them talk.

They will eventually reveal themselves.

Its better to walk alone than recieve false help.

Check in

Life's all about routine maintenance.

Its nesscary to pop the hood sometimes too see if everything's still running smoothly.

Just take a  moment out to reflect on how you feel.

Breath deeply to see where your at.

Are you ok?

What's the format?

Did that thing really bother you?

You need to know.

Your true feelings won't always be aparent.

They won't always show.

Check on them.

Take inventory.

Make time to sort everything all out.

Find your center.

Create a safe space.

The last thing you need is to slip into a sunken place.

Outside

 You don't have to be perfect.

Just be real.

Be true to yourself.

Be true to your art and express how you truly feel.

Don't be affraid to color outside the lines.

Live your truth.

Stand firmly on  your beliefs.

Don't seek validation.

Stick out like a sore thumb.

Embrace your flaws.

Don't be affraid to fail.

Above all just be you at all cost.

Don't try to follow after the crowd because their all lost.
