It's okay to not be okay.

Good feelings

"1. Creating something from nothing, whatever it is, is one of the best feelings in the world.
2. You can read a book in one day.
3. You should do it more often.
4. Wishing on 11:11 doesn't work.
5. Being a human being is really, really difficult.
6. Remember that Monday night when you were so stressed out that you could barely breathe but you got up and went out to a concert and had the best time, singing until you lost your voice and dancing until your feet ached with your best friends beside you. And afterwards, you stood in the pouring rain until it soaked you to the skin and you felt like you could breathe again.
7. Remember that moment when you get lost.
8. People are very good at ignoring things they don't want to know about.
9. Find a song you love and play it over and over again until you know all the words. Then do it again. And again. It's good for your soul.
10. Writing letters is good.
11. You should do it more often.
12. There's nothing like a really beautiful sunset.
13. Eye contact is hard. That's okay. Hopefully, one day, it won't be.
14. You are a writer.
15. This year has been a twisted mess of good and bad. You listened to beautiful music, talked to beautiful people and learned a lot about that person who lives in your head. You managed to stop pulling out your hair, fell in love with poetry and polaroids, stood in rainstorms and saw sunrises and counted shooting stars. There were sleepless nights and tears, there was pain and heartache but you're still here because while the bad still outweighs the good, the good is really good. Try to hold onto that."
