a little bit of advice for everyone . . .
- do not fear spontaneity — listen to your heart's whispers, surrender to the unexpected curves in your path and trust in your instincts. beautiful things may occur in unpredictability, and more often than you think, those small random decisions we make can encourage our life into a direction we did not imagine. challenge your comfort zone. do things that you normally would not do. something good — or bad — something worth remembering might come out of it.
- please do not waste time seeking validation from others, and caring about what they think. i myself used to awfully insecure, and spent all the years in middle school wasting time on people who did not even notice me. i wasted so many opportunities, just because i feared judgement and feeling out of place. i cared so much about how i looked on the surface, that i forgot who i was on the inside. please try to not make the same mistake as i, because in ten years, or three, you will part from all those people by whom you fear being judged. and you will regret the things you didn't do, more than the things that you did do. act on your passions and whims. don't let your insecurities and self-doubts stop you from living the life you want to live.
- be honest. don't drown the truth in glitter and roses. the world heals through what is raw, unfiltered and unapologetic. don't romantise pain, love wildly, have an open mind. always seek the truth in every element of life. true beauty is buried deep beneath the surface, but will cast light out from within, and what carries a ringing truth inside its heart, will have an aura around itself which cannot be denied.
- do what you love, and love what you are doing. encourage your passions, fuel the creative side of you. paint, write, make videos. turn your face into a canvas, capture beautiful moments through a camera lens, let music flow like a river through your veins. don't let others strangle your dream and passions. and remember that if you keep contact with your inner child, you will never be able to lose yourself. life will seem a little brighter, the sunsets a little more magical. stay true to who you are by doing what you truly enjoy or want to be doing.
