There will be days like these,

Days that feel pointless,

And nights that seem unending,

Sunrises that exist to save you from them

And sunsets to remind us, that

change is beautiful.

We all have our feats, so walk.

Walk on a path guided by your heart and steered by your soul.

Walk, each step with purpose and the next with conviction.

Show us who you were, are and will be.

Embrace your path, it exists as an autobiography

Continually written upon.

Your past is not who you are, but rather

Context for who you will be.

Your flaws do not make up your being, but serve as a reminder that you are human,

Broken,

In a way that is beautiful, leaving no room for normalcy.

Your circumstances do not define you but they will facilitate the story of where you came from.

And on days where these circumstances serve as blockades, when your time feels out of reach and beyond your control,

Realize the power in your perspective.

The world, is yours.

A life lived in another persons context is not a life worth living,

The world, is yours.

These are the words that may have been said to you, but you may not have heard.

So let me reinterate.

The world, is yours.

It isn't outside of you, it lies blanketed in your perspective.

You cannot live another persons life, in the same way you will not last living within the confines of another persons reality.

Your life will not be defined by those who haven't lived it,

So live.

And in the event that you forget how to, go outside.

Our earth will train you its art.

Watch the roses, how they grow amongst thorns. They will show you beauty despite your imperfections.

Sit under autumn trees,

They will show you the importance of letting things go.
