Rant On

Breathe

Whatever you're doing right now, stop and take a deep breathe. Then another. You're so beautiful. Has anyone told you that lately? And there's something more important. You're strong. Sometimes it feels like you're not, maybe even most of the time. But please don't ever forget that you're stronger than you know. Everyday you wake up, no matter what, no matter what you've gone through, you wake up every morning. Take a second to appreciate that. After all these years, you still have hope. Maybe it's buried deep inside you and maybe you think this sounds ridiculous, but you keep going every god damn day and that makes you incredible. Breathe today, breathe right now. Sometimes things are too much and I want you to know that's okay. There will be times when you want to break down and cry, times when you want to fall asleep and never wake up again. That doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. That's beautiful too. After all you've been through, never underestimate that because you know what that means? It means there is hope. It means that you'll feel love and happiness, it means you'll feel pride and joy. It means you're still alive but more important, it means you're living.
Stay strong.
Stay beautiful.
But sometimes,

Just breathe.
