You can’t always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes you just have to jump.

Let people feel the weight of who you are and let them deal with it.

I’m not fine as in fine, but fine as in you don’t have to worry about me.

You’ll be fine. Feeling unsure and lost is part of your path. Don’t avoid it. Breathe. You’ll be okay even if you don’t feel it all the time

Give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence.

Stop keeping track of your failures and mistakes. It’s time to move on and forgive yourself.

Take a risk. If the outcome isn’t what you expected, at least you can say you tried.

“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.”
