[thehopefulquotes]

Breathe. You're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before. You've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you've survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too . These feelings can't break you. They're painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

the more you read, the more you will know. the more you learn, the more places you'll go.

If you are not where you wanna be, then why chilling out so much? Be selfish with you, be unavailable to toxic people, be productive, be money motivated, future-oriented, be independent, be goal-getting and be lowkey.

Work hard, it’s worth it.
