You Are Not Broken

Not every bad feeling is a diagnosis.

Sometimes you are sad because you aren't who you know you should be.

Sometimes you are anxious because you know you are hiding.

Sometimes you are frustrated because deep down you know things just aren't how they could be if you made better decisions.

Sometimes it's just life punching you in the fucking face.

Victim culture wants you to believe every emotion is a disease.

It's not.

They want you to label it and accept that you are broken.

You aren't.

These feelings are signals urging you to be who you know you could and should be.

Stop treating feelings like final judgments.

Treat them like alarms.

Move toward the fire.

Not away from it.

That's where you'll find your peace.

...Along with everything else you've ever dreamed of.
