Okay. I know most of you aren't big fans when I write long paragraphs on here. But it's only because I have so much to say about this beautiful world. And believe when I tell you that I'm writing this directly to each of my followers. Each and every one of you. I need you to read this. Even if we've never talked before. Hear me out. It's the start of a new year - 2017. 2016 is in the past. Now, I know for most of you 2016 was awful. Not everything was bad, but it seemed like the bad outweighed the good. I get it. For me personally, despite a numerous amount of celebrities I adore dying, 2016 wasn't half bad. I used tell myself that I know who I am and that I know what I want to accomplish while I'm here everyday. 2016 was a year for me that made me realize that yes, I indeed know who I am and my morals. And I truly do know what I want to accomplish. But at the same time, I can also learn more things about myself everyday. And that's a big part of life. It's exciting. Now, I want to talk about you for a bit. You may seem like you don't know who you are and/or you don't know what you want to do with your life. That's okay. Just live for right now until you figure it out - because you will. There has been days in the past and there will be days in the future when you feel worthless. Or you'll be self-conscious, full of doubt, fear, or whatever it may be, consuming your body. And you'll lose yourself. And I want you to know that that's normal. That's okay. You're okay. Because you - you my friend are worth it. You are beautiful. You are a star and there is nobody else in this world like you. Your insecurities make you who you are - and instead of being scared that you're different from everybody else, embrace it, sweetheart. You make life exciting. And you mean more to your friends and family than you may ever realize. You and I may have never talked before, but you mean a lot to me, too. And we're all glad you're here. No matter what your situation is, you should feel blessed, grateful and thankful. Because you're still here in this one shot you have at life - and whether you believe it or not, you are surrounded by people who love you. I was lucky enough to have role models in my life who told me this everyday until I actually started to believe it. And I started to believe in my freshman year of high school. And your power in that belief will make you stronger everyday. Here I am a year later after I started to believe, and I feel at the top of my game. But I know that everyday, I will continue to grow stronger and stronger. And that's exciting. You may not believe it yet, and you may not have any good role models in your life. If that's the case, then read this paragraph everyday until you believe. I am here to help you. If any of you ever need advice or just someone to talk to, I am here. Please, do not hesitate to private message me. You may be in dark now, or in the future; but I am here to tell you that you will NOT stay in the shadows permanently. Time heals all wounds - even if at the end it leaves a scar. Don't overthink every little thing. Happiness cannot be achieved unless you move away from your worries. Ask yourself, "Will this matter in a day? A week? A month? A year?" 95% of the time the answer is no. Calm down, I promise everything will be okay. I don't care what I look like or what people think about me anymore; and all it started with is me and my mindset. When you finally reach a consistent, bright mindset, you will see light - a beautiful light in your life that you never could have imagined even in your wildest dreams. Do not let the opinions of people who don't know you define you. You are the only one who has the ability to define who you are. So, stop to smell the roses - and the thorns. If one day, I do become famous, I have 2 words that I want to follow to set an example to everyone. Those 2 words are, "Be Kind." The world does not need more anger. If everyone showed some form of gratitude daily, which I strive to do, then this world would prosper on beauty, self-righteousness, and of course - kindness. This is my mark that I want to leave on the world. What's yours, superstar?

You will not go unheard.
