Note to 20 something human beings
✨look in the mirror and try your best to be okay with what you see. Actually take yourself in and admire all of that.
✨always be nice to people in customer service-Your waiter, waitress, customer service agent, cashier, store clerk,etc.
✨don’t feel bad about things too easily. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that things aren’t usually personal. People experience different realities. You cannot be responsible for what they experience or choose to feel, all of the time.
✨ It’s okay to choose you. It’s okay to recognize your true self and make changes accordingly. It’s okay to quit, to leave unhealthy relationships and to let go because it no longer serves you.
✨Letting go is not weak. It is not giving up. It is knowing that you have done your best with a situation and it is now time to only move on. It is being cognizant of your strength and worth. It is the universe’s calling for the next step ahead in your path.
✨your platonic relationships are so valid and important. Please do not forget about them. Friends are soul mates too.
✨love is simply perfect in its imperfections.
✨trust that not everyone will understand and accept you. This is so cliche and so true. Trust that some people will make your life harder and it will feel difficult to fall asleep or wake up and start your day but you have to believe the art and truth of the temporary. You have to believe that what you have is now and it’s only best to make the best of it because there is no other time than now. Keep moving, keep going.
✨sometimes we will realize things at very weird moments and times in life- like in the middle of sex or in the midst of eating or talking. You will jolt out of your sleep at 3:04 am realizing who you truly are and there is no time stamp on that. It’s never too late or too early, or too awkward to get closer to yourself and to know what your truth, truly is.
✨death is inevitable and thoughtless. It will sweep the rug right from under your feet and you will fall on your face. It will hurt. And you may have a scar from that fall that will heal and you will forever remember because it becomes apart of you. Please don’t ask when will it ever stop hurting. Let it hurt. One day you may feel different and you may come to better terms with it. Let it come, and let it be.
✨whenever you fuck up in life, please acknowledge it. You don’t get to choose if the someone you hurt, should be hurt. You will feel like utter shit. I have to tell you that you are not the worst person, however. Apologize and own up to your shit and be an adult. After you do that, forgive yourself. I know it sounds like a silly thing and a weird thing to do- but this part is crucial. You don’t get to choose if the someone should forgive you but you have to choose to forgive yourself. Please.
✨there will come a point where you do not know where you are going, who you are, and what it means to exist and be important. You may feel this more or less than some people. Look up and look around you and notice how that tree is where it should be- grounded and rooted. Notice how you have to look up and see the clouds because they are not by your feet. Notice how full the birds are, from flower to flower. Look at how your body is alive and how you have a home for your soul to experience everything around you. Everything is as is- as it should be. Just like you. You are valid and necessary.
