16. It’s ok to stay close to your comfort zone. You don’t have to push yourself if you are not ready.
8. Do nothing. It’s fine. Don’t feel guilty. You’ve not wasted time. You’ve relaxed and put yourself first. You don’t have to “do something” every day.
7. You don’t have to talk. You don’t have to tell others how you feel. You can take your time. It’s ok to heal internally first.
4. Change. It’s ok to stop and take a different route. Find new friends. Start fresh. It’s never too late.
