ALT 1/ Just because you struggle with a lot of everyday things, doesn't mean you don't have value or talents
2/ Be proud of yourself for everyday accomplishments, no matter how small. Take every change to celebrate yourself
3/ Society doesn't have to be what sets your pace, we all grow at our own speed
4/ for every worry, make a wish for every self-criticism, give yourself a compliment every time your anxiety scare you, challenge that fear
5/ You are not for everyone, and that's okay. Don't be with people who make you feel like you are difficult to love
6/ Where you are right now is not who you are right now
Talking to someone you trust is often the first step towards helping you feel better.

A message from our friend @MellowDoodles:
“Please, please, please stop letting other people’s treatment of you dictate how you see yourself. Soooo often, it shows way more about them than it does about you. Seek your own approval, not theirs.”
ALT Other people's ideas, criticisms, judgements and projections are not who you are. They don't dictate your value. They don't get to change your worth. The only acceptance you truly need is your own. - mellow doodles
Today is Dr Maya Angelou's 94th birthday and also marks 54 years since Dr Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Both have left an indelible mark on this world. We should strive to take on board their words of wisdom. #inspirational
Show this to your child whenever they have a tough day.
