I’m going to tell you something you already know, and that is that the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a nasty place, and no matter how tough you are, it will knock you on your ass and leave you there if you let it. Nothing is going to hit you as hard as life will. And right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They’re lonely, they’re missing someone, they’re in love with someone they shouldn’t be, they have secrets you wouldn’t believe and they’re just as stressed as you. They wish, dream, hope, and watch out the window whenever they’re in the car thinking that things won’t ever go up. And you cannot, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life. This life is yours and it is what you make it. It is inevitable that you’re going to mess up sometimes, everyone does. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up.
You are in charge of your life.
Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re going to fail at everything. You need to take wrong turns and talk to strangers. Open new doors and close old ones. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. Be curious and smart and bored. There are so many adventures that you might miss because you’re too busy waiting or too scared to try. To find them, look for new and interesting things. Step outside your comfort zone and remember that you are always making it up as you go.
Remember that on your journey through life, nothing will ever be perfect and it never has to be; there will be times when you are broke, there will be times that you feel lonely and sad, but there will be times you will be happy. There will be good and bad, but I promise the good will always outweigh the bad. Just take things one day at a time and remember to breathe
Keep trying, keep holding on, and always believe in yourself. Because if you don’t, who will? Keep your chin up and keep smiling. This life is a beautiful thing.
