This is your life.
You’re allowed to change your mind.
To change your heart.
You’re allowed to be a different person.
To wake up one day and not want to do the things you’ve been doing all your life.
You’re allowed to love who you want.
To move on from the people who are not good to you.
To let go of anyone without any kind of explanation.
Without any kind of regret.
You’re allowed to make mistakes.
To learn from them.
Or not to learn from them and experience everything all over again.
You’re allowed to forget your past if you want to.
Or to stay in it but you must also understand that this is not how you will grow.
You’re allowed to change careers.
To dress differently.
To chase different dreams.
To change locations, even if, at first, you’re terrified to do so.
You’re allowed to dislike yourself but also allowed to change those same parts you don’t see eye to eye with.
To work on them until you’re completely comfortable with who you are.

This is your life.
Make it count.
Make your own validation.
Your own path.
Your own way of life.
You are enough.
And you are not broken.
You’re a lot stronger than you want to believe.
NOW BREATHE.

When it is time for something new, you will feel it.
You will feel a desire to let go, to shed layers, to move, to re-create.
You will know because there will be subtle shifts all around you.
You will release the old because you are really clearing the path for what’s ahead.
Trust this process.
Know that life does not take from us anything unless there is something else awaiting its replacement.
Understand & value the importance of subtle shifts.

Nobody is going to finally give you permission to love your life, your body, your existence on this Earth.
You do that for you.
You don’t need permission to enjoy the sunshine on your face, the feel of warm water on your skin, the laugh you make when something catches you off guard.

Stop hoarding your joy.
You deserve it all.
Act accordingly.

You’ve got to ask yourself what you’re living for & who you’re living for.
And if none of those answers begin with you then you’re living your life wrong, you’re living a lie.
Everything you do should revolve around you.
Every person, every place, ever moment should start and end with you.
This is your life and you shouldn’t spend it on dull things, in people who don’t understand the type of love you carry within your bones.
Because you only live once and it’s your job to make it count.
So let every day be yours, own it, remain consistent in your walk of life and never apologize for being who you are.

Always be the best person you can be.
Be kind even when you’re tired.
Be understanding even when you’re angry.
Do more than you’re asked, and don’t ask for anything in return.
Don’t silently expect anything either.
Listen when someone talks, and really listen too, stop just thinking of how you’ll reply.
Tell people that you love them and that you appreciate them.
Go out of your way to do things for people.
Be the greatest person you can possibly be and when you mess up, make up for it in the next moment or minute or day.

One thing you should never do?
Never spend your time trying to prove to anybody that you’re great, your actions will speak for themselves and we only have limited time on this earth, don’t waste it.

If someone doesn’t see your light, don’t worry.
Like moths, good people are attracted to flame and to light, and they will come.

We are all searching for connection, and yet we are all avoiding eye contact.
We are all searching for people who understand, but we close ourselves off before we discover that they can relate to the struggles we try so hard to hide.
We convince the outside world that we are fine, even if we are aching for help, and that is why we don’t get it.
That is why the distance between us and everyone around us widens.
We are all running away from each other, when we should be running towards one another.

It’s normal for us to overanalyze and overcomplicate just about everything.
We often lead complex lives where the solutions can seem out of reach.
They say the simplest answer is usually correct, so when I get overwhelmed, I come back to this profound notion of simplicity.
When in doubt, simplify the clutter of your mind.

Imagine your problem is a messy knot and visualize yourself untying it.
Understand that just as it is complicated to make things simple, it is simple to make things complicated as well.

We humans do not understand compassion.
In each moment of our lives, we betray it.
We know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned.
Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the world.
It must be given freely.

It’s easy to judge.
It’s more difficult to understand.
Understanding requires compassion, patience, and a willingness to believe that good hearts sometimes choose poor methods.
Through judging, we separate.
Through understanding, we grow.

Stop overthinking and replaying episodes from your past you are not happy about.
Realize that everything happens for a reason.
It served its purpose.
It made you better.
Only through experience we can truly feel and understand the contrast of what is good and what is not, what we want and what we don’t want.

Experiences teaches us most valuable lessons.
It helps us grow, love ourselves and have empathy towards others.
Be grateful for your experiences, but move forward.
Embrace the new & remain consistent in your walk of life. (Not my words.)
