Learning to Love myself

the competition

heres to the girls sitting in the shower because you're too tired to stand. here's to the girls who constantly ask themselves if they're good enough for everyone else, and sometimes questioning if they're good enough for themselves. Here's to the girls who can't sleep at night because the situation you're in is too emotionally draining and is taking up space in your mind.

I've always been the one to ask myself these questions, and feel these ways. I was always the one trying to fix things so i can feel better about myself, and I was always the one who remained quiet when things aren't the way they're supposed to be.

I've been called many names, and never said anything.

I've been given dirty looks, and never said anything.

I've been called a liar, on things that I've said and things that I've done.

lately I've felt like there is some competition that's brewing in my life because of deep-rooted jealousy.

I've complained about apologies owed to me, to the extent that I'm even annoying myself. But I soon realized I want an apology because i realize that i deserve better.

So I'm acting on that. No more catering to others needs, no more being quiet. It's about me, now.

my depression and anxiety has been overwhelming. It's time to stop.

So now, there is no competition. There honestly never was. The only one is between me and myself. So please, continue doing what you're doing, and I'll come back stronger than ever each time.

Kisses, Kat

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
