 People need to stop making jokes about people who go to therapy like it's a bad thing because it isn't a bad thing. People who take the steps to get help for their problems are the ones who deserve an applaud. It doesn't make them bad people or crazy people. Stop making it out like you can't get help by seeing a therapist or any type of mental health treatment. Some people need people other than family and friends to talk to.

 Sometimes we stand in the way of our own happiness. We do it for many different reasons. Some of it is we think we don't deserve to be happy when we do deserve to be happy. We need to learn to heal and love ourselves. We need to love every part of ourselves even the bad parts and the scars. It is okay that we have failed. It is okay that we've made mistakes.

 No one in this world has the right to make you feel like crap. Stand up to people like that. Set boundaries. Tell them they make you angry and that they don't have the right to talk to you the way they do. You are aloud to have an opinion of your own. Think for yourself.  You are aloud to make your own choices in life.  Do what makes you happy in life and if people don't like it that is their personal problem. They only want to drag people down to their level and they aren't worth the time or energy. Don't waste your time or energy on the toxic and negative behaviors that people want to bring out of you. Keep shining bright in these dark times.
