i hope you find peace, friendship, happiness, and everything you’ve ever dreamed of. i hope you know you are so loved. i hope you know how much you matter. i hope you never give up on your dream. i hope that you live to see another day. i hope you know you’re worth more than the stupid opinions of others. i hope you know that there is beauty and strength in every fibre of your being. i hope you know that you are not alone, and that i will always be here for you.

your mistakes do not define you. the trajectory of your life is not ruined because of one slip up. keep going. do not let this moment fester in your mind forever. it can be easy to keep analyzing your mistakes and wondering where you went wrong. but fight the voices that tell you that you could have done better. you are trying your best 🌱☀️

the new year is upon us and it can be hard to see everyone posting all their achievements this past year. i want you all to know that it is fine if what you did this year was survive. we’re all living in tough times right now, so surviving is a great success in itself. i also don’t want you all to feel pressured to create new years resolutions or change your whole life around just because our calendar has changed. everyone is on their own journey, following their own path. don’t compare your progress to that of others. you decide whats best for you.

take yourself on a date. get to know who you are. learn your interests. prioritize yourself. we spend too much of our time out of touch with who we really are. we try so hard to fit in, to impress others, we lose sight of ourselves. it’s time to put ourselves first. it’s not selfish, it is self care. you cannot grow if you never change. you deserve the life that you dream of.

maybe the purpose of life is to fill it with as many positive things as you can. regardless of how bad life gets, don’t let it steal your personality, your hobbies, your style. after coming home from a bad day at work maybe you need to sit down and read a nice book. after studying non-stop for so long, maybe you should finish that crochet project you’ve been putting off because you’re so busy. maybe we should prioritize the things we love, the things that make us happy, and not just the things we’re forced to do to survive. in this society, a little peace from the outside world is important. don’t give up on the things that make you happy. don’t forget about yourself.

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.

love yourself despite it all. love yourself even when you said the wrong thing. when you messed up in class. when you got a grade you didn’t like. when you haven’t been outside in a week. accept yourself in spite of it all. accept yourself even if you didn’t get into the university you wanted. when you broke up with someone you thought you would stay with forever. when the guilt is eating you alive. when you feel like you can’t take it anymore. you are already whole, you are enough.

take the leap. do the thing you’ve always wanted to. even if doesn’t work out, it’s a whole lot better knowing you tried, rather than letting the “what ifs” eat you alive.

life will get better. you have to hold on. this will not last forever. life can be rough but it won’t always be.

it’s time to start living the life you truly want. you don’t need to wait for the new year. don’t let your fear hold you back. you can always start fresh, whenever you want.

don’t ever let anyone tell you who you can, and can’t be. that is only up for you to decide. don’t give up on your dream because of a worthless opinion.
