Life

This is life. People will screw you over. You will fight with your family. You’ll witness things that will change you forever. You’ll blame new lover for things old lovers did. You’ll lose best friends you thought would always be there. You’ll come to realize that everyone has a past. You will cry, you will laugh and you will embarrass yourself. But then, you’ll find your very own moment where none of that matters; where you can sit back and realize that crap happens to the people who can handle it and that this is who you are, and that no one should want to change you, including yourself.

Always be the best person you can be, be kind even when your tired. Be understanding even when you’re angry. Do more than you’re asked, and don’t ask for anything in return. Don’t silently expect anything either. Listen when someone talks, and really listen too, stop thinking of how you will reply. Tell people that you love them and that you appreciate them. Go out of your way to do things for people. Be the greatest person you can possibly be and when you mess up, make up for it in the next moment, minute or day. One thing you should never do? Never spend your time trying to prove to anybody that your great, your actions will speak for themselves and we only have limited time on this earth, don’t waste it. If someone doesn’t see your light, don’t worry, like moths, good people are attracted to flame and to the light and they will come.

You are being presented with a choice: evolve or remain. If you choose to remain unchanged, you will be presented with the same challenges, the same routine, the same storm, the same situation, until you learn from them, until you love yourself enough to say “no more”, until you choose change. If you choose to evolve, you will connect with the strength within you, you will explore what lies outside the comfort zone, you will awaken to Love, YOU have everything you need. Choose to evolve, choose love.

Don’t get stuck, move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb into bed with our journal. Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast forward yourself into a future you have no yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep travelling honestly along life’s path.

This is life, and it is what it is. Shit is gonna happen. It’s gonna get complicated, we’re gonna relapse. We’re gonna need timeouts. We’re gonna be weak. We’re gonna be strong. We’re gonna lose our shit and yell for people to get the fuck out of our lives. We’re gonna break down and beg some people to stay in our lives. Somedays we’re gonna feel everything all at once. Other days, we’re gonna feel nothing at all. We’re gonna be in some bad spaces. We’re gonna get on our knees, cry and hurting and begging for help. We’re gonna get on our knees and pray just to say thank you. We’re gonna have moments when we know exactly what we want, and we’re sure. We’re gonna have moments when we legit have no fucking clue what we want, and we’re confused. This life shit is not a movie, and I think sometimes we forget that.

Find balance in your life. Work hard but don’t let work take over your life, you will lose yourself. Love, but love for the right reasons. Life is too short for anything mediocre. Know who you are and know that you are worthy of reaching your dreams and that it is never too late to start creating that life you have always dreamed of. Do not compare yourself to others, that’s just deadly. No two souls are the same. You are your own person, you are beautiful and you are unique. Put your trust in the universe. Somethings are just meant to happen, and some are not. Let go of whatever is stealing your happiness, it’s hard but it is worth it. Embrace change. Embrace life. Everything happens for a reason; sometimes you just need to breathe, trust and let go.

There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It is not any less beautiful, I promise.

Learn to love yourself enough so that when someone enters your life that treats you negatively, you can stand up for yourself and have the strength to let them go. You can learn that it is okay to say no to anyone who is not willing to treat you with love and respect, you not only want, but also deserve Have the courage to walk away from anything that does not serve you well.

To me, a rich and satisfying life means one full of contrast. Give me sleep ins. And soft rains, coffee shops and conversations. But also adrenaline and adventure. And drunken bellows to the stars. I am determined to embrace this extravagant life for all that it has to offer.

Every morning I wake up and remind myself that my soul is fucking beautiful, my mind is fucking powerful, my heart is made of fucking gold, and I have so many god damn good things going for me… that I literally no not need ANYONE who isn’t going to love me that way that I deserve to be loved.

Wake up early tomorrow. Eat a good breakfast. Get ready and put on a kickass outfit. Buy a cup of coffee and enjoy every sip of it. Go to work, make that money, and learn something new in the process. Nourish. Grow. Inspire. Self destruction is not an option. Let every choice you make be a brick in the foundation of rebuilding yourself. Choose to be happy.

Get out from your house, from your cave. From your car, from the place you feel safe, from the place that you are. Get out and go running, go funning, go wild. Get out from your head and get growing. Live your life.
