#happiness

waking up knowing your not perfect but still wanting to grow and change and learn and allowing yourself to be imperfect

loving every part of you and forgiving your past self instead of letting it haunt you, appreciating the actions you took to get you to where you are today, and looking torwards the future with kimdness and an open mind

challenging yourself academically, taking harder classes and seeing how smart you can get, putting pressure on yourself you know you can handle, studying with friends, improving and over it all knowing that theres no traffic in your life because you’re in your own lane

challenging yourself politically and socially to learn more about the world and establish yourself and your stances about world issues while also surrounding yourself with all new types of people to learn about their experiences and lives and personalities and perception of their lives

drinking lots of water and eating healthy and getting lots of steps and exploring new places and prioritizing mental health and having the empathy to give yourself space and time to grow and blossom

Have you guys ever had those moments in life where you just realize how alive you are. Like I would notice small the small wholesome moments of happiness and consideration people have for each other and ngl sometimes…it brings tears to my eyes. I don’t know. Sometimes when I feel down I realize how happy other people are and that makes me smile.

✅ Save your softness for those who hold you ✅ Kindness hits different when it’s real ✅ Boundaries protect the love that matters 🫶 ✅ Let your warmth be intentional, not automatic

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love
