"Do not speak badly of yourself for the warrior within hears your words and is lessened by them." - David Gemmel

The older you get, the more you choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.

Never beg anyone for anything, not time, not attention, not love – nothing. If it's always one-sided and it doesn't flow that's your sign to let it go.

Be so fucking proud of yourself for passing the hardest moments alone while everyone believed you were fine.

As long as you know your intentions are pure, never stress yourself about anything or anyone. You have to trust that you will always end up being where you’re meant to be and that it’s never your loss respectfully.

Literally the most important lesson I've learned this year.
