You’re Doing Your F*cking Best.

a reminder from me to you!😇

sometimes your best looks “better” than others. it’s not better, it’s different. it’s the best you can in that moment, and that’s all that really matters. let you be the judge of you... not “those people” you’re so worried about—they’re not living this life for you.

sometimes your best looks cute & fun & is enjoying a sunset sushi date and other times it looks like crying on the phone w your mom in the village to ✨let it all out✨ because calculus sucks & the pressure to perform can get to all of us. i’m so far from perfect and it can be super intimidating to share those imperfect, low moments, but that’s why I do. because I know we all have them. there’s no need to let what we think other people want to see from us get in the way of being true to who we ACTUALLY ARE!

so yea, I’m out here, doing my fucking best, even when it feels super shameful to say that when I don’t think I’ve worked “hard enough” to earn it. because I feel this way it’s even MORE important to show up and be kind to myself. I’m doing my best, I’m going to keep on doing my best, because I know I can always choose to be proud of myself for showing up when it feels extra hard, for feeling the fear and doing it anyway, and for re-centering myself in what I can control in THIS moment.

self-love and happiness are choices we make, over and over. Love > fear, always.

you’re doing your fucking best, and I’m so proud of you. 🤍 #freetobefi #freetobeus
