Man don’t rush any part of your process for these people.

You’ll hate yourself for it.

Take all the time you need, just make sure you actually work.

Cut off anything not helping you progress no matter how hard it may be.

Remember that if you don’t do the work for yourself, no one will.

So why sacrifice your happiness and energy to focus on appeasing others?

You’re missing out on great time with yourself.

Be selfish with your time, space, and understand you owe no one anything.

Sorry if I get into this a lot but I truly mean it bruh.

Too many of us are depressed because we expect things of others, hate when things aren’t reciprocated, and get into a cycle of repetition.

So please take this advice, if something, or someone is hurting you more than helping you, cut it out of your life.

You deserve better and I’m sure you want to be happy so why not make the hard decision now so shit is easier later?

I literally went from 120 contacts to 20 and I feel lighter and better than ever.

The more toxicity you allow in your space, the less happiness you have.

In the end I just say this so people know it’s okay to cut people off and to stop going back and forth cause you’ll find an excuse to keep fucking with people and certain vices every time ‘hoping for better’. Better isn’t coming.

So much shit in my life started falling into place beautifully when I stopped forcing things and started letting things be. I appreciated more, understood more, learned more about people, myself, the beauty in dreaming, and also the beauty in not knowing.

Live in RIGHT now and make the BEST decisions for now. Your future will reward you with REAL happiness as opposed to what you ‘think’ your happiness is.

Stop ‘aspiring’ to be happy and just, be.

Things and people won’t bring you long-term happiness.

That shit truly only comes from within and I see that now.

Happiness isn’t forever and neither is sadness. Just live life, and live it for you at all times.
