You can't force something into your life. If something yis right, you'll never have to wonder. You won't feel lost; you won't feel conflicted. What is right for you will stay. You won't have to chase it; you won't have to mend it. You won't have to bend backward to make it fit your life. When something is right for you, it will bring you peace. There was a reason for those pieces that so pain- fully didn't fit into your life. There's always a reason. I promise you, one day, you will be thankful that the very same thing you wished so hard to have in your life didn't work out.

Take the long way home. Enjoy the scenery. Observe the way they wake up and take note of what makes them laugh. Know when it's about them and when it's about you. Find the spectacular in the mundane. Ask them to text you when they get home, to work, to their vacation destination. Be infinitely curious about how they live their days. Take time apart. Make room on the couch. Embrace the fact you don't know what's best for them. Set boundaries. Express grati-tude. Practice trust, even when it's scary (especially then).
Keep both feet on the ground. Admit your mistakes. Accept their apologies. Throw away the scorecard. Kiss like you mean it. Ask more questions. Accept that it can be really hard to merge two paths; keep trying to anyway. Give them the aux cord. Give them the last fry. Give them the last word, even if you're really fucking pissed. Figure out what is worth the fight and what is not. Hold the door. Hold their hand. Hold space. Save them a seat. Notice the scattered gold flecks in their eyes. Tell them you're proud of them; tell them this often. Dance in the kitchen. Play hide-and-seek in the grocery store. Know you're lucky. Don't be hasty.
Point out the dip in the sidewalk. Offer your arm. Offer your heart. Offer your world. Know when it's time to lou-ingly let go. Know when you need to hang on like bell.

I'm so proud of you for doing your best to be okay. I'm so proud of you for waking up everyday and trying. I'm so proud of you for being here today because I know some of your yesterdays were really hard. I don't know what you're going through but you are going to get through it. You are going to get through whatever you're going through. I hope you fight for yourself when no one else does and I hope you know you are worthy of your wildest dreams. You are someone worth fighting for. Keep going.

Thank you for being the person who makes people feel okay when they're not okay. The world truly is a kinder place because you are in it.

“See, growth isn’t this comfortable, miraculous thing. It can get ugly, it can get confusing. It’s gritty, it’s hard. It’s difficult to confront yourself sometimes; it’s difficult to be the person who does things differently, who doesn’t settle. But it’s the greatest gift you will ever give yourself. It will push you towards figuring out what your own personal version of happiness looks like; and when you grow on your own terms, when you figure out what actually matters to you, and when you carve out your own path, you live on your own terms. You love on your own terms. You become the person you have always wanted to be, rather than the person you were always told to be, and that is beautiful. Because when it comes down to it, life is about making yourself proud on your own terms. It’s about finding a happiness that works for you.”

Get rid of everything that bothers you

Surely you have noticed that some people seem to suck your energy, and some objects, smells and sounds, on the contrary, have a positive effect on your condition and work. Therefore, it is important to listen to yourself.
If something or someone is draining you, get rid of it.
For example, don't waste precious time listening to toxic people's complaints and restoring your peace of mind afterwards. Better spend it for the benefit of yourself and your business.

Let go of the past

Most of us have unpleasant situations from past years that we replay in our heads and emotionally relive over and over again. It's too much. The past cannot be changed, and there is no need to drag such a burden behind you. Imagine that a problem from the past burns up in a fire, drowns in the ocean, or crumbles from an impact. Describe what happened on paper and burn it or actually drown it. Mentally, out loud, or in writing, forgive the offender or yourself.

Being emotionally attached to someone sucks. It gives you a feeling of not being in control and fearing the loss of them. I love being independent, and it's hard to learn to share things and accept them a part of a pair. We do it because we can't help it, it's uncontrollably beautiful and devastating at the same time. We have given someone else the power to hurt us, and we trust they won't. Sometimes we choose wrong, and that's okay because the time we choose right is amazing. I'm not saying love is perfect. It's about fights, compromising, work, making time, dates, and many things that keep your relationship alive. We are all in such a rush to fall in love that we forget what it really entails. Love is not for the weak hearted, it's only available when all walls are beginning
to crumble, and the light is barely visible at the end of the tunnel. That's when love is possible, and you're ready to face it head-on.

Most of my life has been spent trying to shrink myself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less me. Because I didn't want to be a burden. I didn't want to be too much or push people away. I wanted people to like me. I wanted to be cared for and valued I wanted to be wanted. So for years, I sacrificed myself for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, I suffered. But I'm tired of suffering, and I'm done shrinking. It's not my job to change who I am in order to become someone else's idea of a worthwhile human being.
I am worthwhile. Not because other people think I am, but because I exist and therefore, I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. My voice matters. And with or without anyone's permission or approval, I will continue to speak my truth. Even if it makes people angry. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave. I refuse to shrink. I choose to take up space. I choose to honor my feelings. I choose to give myself permission to get my needs met.
I choose to make self-care a priority.
I choose me.

Maybe life isn't about becoming anything.

Maybe it's about learning to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to see the beauty in where you are right now.
Maybe the person you are, in this very moment, is already enough.
And maybe, just maybe, true peace comes not from striving, but from embracing yourself exactly as you are.

There will never be anything that compares to finding new pieces of yourself you didn’t even know you would discover. i think that’s a big part of life i’ve overlooked. not only will i grow up more and more but i will also meet more of myself. that’s terrifying but exciting and something to look forward to. maybe at 25 i’ll realize i love a certain food or at 30 i’ll want to learn to play piano or at 50 i’ll take an interest in scuba diving. i don’t know yet all of who i am but i really want to know more.

Sometimes in life you cross paths with someone who instantly makes you feel calm, refreshed, alive, and wholesome. They encourage your dreams and celebrate your wins without an ounce of jealousy. They just want what's best for you, and you for them; there isn't much more to it. They are warm and bright, loving and loyal. You can't help but feel authentically happy in their presence, like the best version of yourself.

- Thank you for being my sunflower.

And there comes a phase when you feel everything is pointless. When you are so exhausted of trying and trying every single time with a reinstated faith but fail each time with a more devastating effect than the previous attempt so much so that you are forced to conclude that it is futile to even attempt. When watching inspirational stories of others fills you with anger and rage rather than motivation. When you read stories and novels and watch movies with happy endings and feel that it is unreal and can never happen to you at least. When you ruminate over the conclusion of everything without even beginning a single task because of the overwhelming depression like a Tsunami in your head forcing you to just lay on your bed and do nothing. When no matter who you talk to, you feel nothing. When thoughts of death and termination are more likely than anything else. When the feeling of loneliness, incompetence, worthlessness, vanity and lack of love is bursting your head to such an extent that any movement and any action around you is detestable. When you think that death is ultimate and everything you do is just pointless.

Some of the most beautiful souls, with the most profound insights, often hold themselves back from writing and sharing their ideas, believing that what they notice is obvious or unworthy of being written down. But what I have observed is that, more often than not, our passing thoughts are precisely what another soul needs as they walk their own parallel journey.

So write - for love and for all the lost souls in need of a lantern in the dark.

The biggest lesson I need to learn now is to just create the things I want to happen by myself. maybe there will be people who will join me on my journey. maybe there won't be. but I'm tired of people who do things half-heartedly or are still indecisive about their own life choices. I'm tired of waiting. I don't even know what I'm waiting for. it's becoming a distraction at this point. I know what I want to happen and I know how to make those things happen. I just need to do it.

A late reply isn't a red flag.

It simply reflects reality-
people have busy lives, feel overwhelmed, or sometimes lack the energy for conversation and simply taking some time for themselves, which is perfectly okay. Sometimes, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't care. Be patient and understand that everyone moves at their own pace.

There is still so much love to be felt and life to be lived. There are still some of your favorite days coming and I hope you keep going knowing you will always have an angel with you through all of the new memories you're going to make here.
And you'll never, ever, be alone. You should be so proud of yourself for how you are going through what you shouldn't be going through right now. You are a light, you are a being of grace, you are filled with goodness. People notice and look up to you. You are needed, wanted, and loved here. Exactly as you are.

I'm not perfect and I don't claim to be. I have insecurities, I get jealous, I overthink everything, I have trust issues, and some days I don't think I'm good enough. That's who I am I'm not afraid to admit it, but you know what?
I'm amazing in many ways too. I have a huge heart with lots of scars, a soul that's been through hell and back. Not everyday is my best, some days l ruin things and make mistakes, but I learn from them. I want to grow and be the best version of myself. I'm a work in progress and some day I'll make someone proud to call me their's.
