"Saying less is incredibly helpful. Every thought is not valuable. Every feeling does not need to be voiced. What is often best is slowing down to spend time developing a clearer and more informed perspective. Ego rushes and reacts, but peace moves intentionally and gently.” ~Yung Pueblo
Trust that some of the best days of your life haven't even happened yet. There are going to be parties that leave you dancing until 6am, spontaneous adventures that teach you more than you ever learned in a classroom...
So many people from your past know a version of you that doesn't exist anymore.⠀
Don't allow someone to treat you poorly just because you love them.
When you notice your mental health declining, do one small thing that brings you peace. Take a shower, text a loved one, step outside. One little step is all you need to remind yourself that this is not permanent.

When you decide to stop worrying about what other people might think of you, you get to dance. You get to sing. You get to laugh loudly, paint, write, and create. You get to be yourself. Some people won't like you, but it won't bother you all that much.
Self-acceptace is the beginning of a journey out of uncertainty and hiding your light. You get to say "Here I am, this is me, take me or leave me."

"Admire other people's beauty and talent without questioning your own. Let people live their truth without it threatening yours. Be truly happy when others are blessed. Learn from everyone, but compare yourself to no one. Stop striving to be better than others and just work toward being better than who you were yesterday." ~Brooke Hampton⠀
You're not selfish for wanting the same love and energy you give.
You deserve happiness even if you're not used to it.
