Remind Yourself - E.E

It took me a long time to realize that the world doesn't owe us anything. That sometimes you can do everything right and somehow everything goes wrong. That people who don't deserve good things, will sometimes get them. That sometimes, no matter how much you want someone to love you, you can't make them. That not everyone will like you and sometimes you can't change that. That if someone walks away, it is not my duty to change their mind. That people will die young. That people will do the things they promised they never would. That sometimes things happen for no good reason.

But do not allow this to harden you. Remind yourself that your bones are made from diamonds and your skin is slick with compassion. Remind yourself that you are a flawless combination of every mistake you've ever made. Remind yourself that in spite of what you have learned, you will not allow it to turn you to ice.
