We work and work and work for this falsity of an American dream and ideals of what being successful means in society that are...At the end of the day...Meaningless. 

We forget to do the things that make us happy, that fill our hearts and souls  and mind like goblets sloshing over the shining rim because we become so overwhelmed by the grind. The grind that people tell us we must do, we must be to be a functioning member in society. To be considered normal. 

We miss out on so much because we work so hard to conform, because were self conscious, because being ourselves somewhere along the line was correlated with being weak, because god fucking forbid we show someone we are, because at the end of the day being “normal” is a falsity that we’ve convinced ourselves is the truth, is our truth, because of what is shoved down our throats and put in front of our eyes from the moment we are born. 

And we forget who we are and what we want and what makes us grin. What makes us filled with hope and inspiration and all of those happy thoughts. And that’s the real tragedy in life. 

Have you ever wished life had a pause button so you could just catch your breath? 

When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do."

Dr. Carter G. Woodson

Your life matters because you have people in your life who love and care about you, and your presence brings joy and happiness to their lives.

Your life matters because you have the power to choose your own path and make your own decisions, and the choices you make can shape your own life and the lives of others.

Your life matters because you have the ability to learn, grow, and change, and you can use these abilities to improve yourself and your life.
