❝ one thing i have learnt this year is to live and live in the moment. life is tough, life is overwhelming and life is a struggle. a struggle to hold on. a constant battle of choosing between what it is and what it should be. this year, you found yourself in situations you never could've possibly imagined yourself to be in. you looked for yourself in everywhere you went and everyone you met. you thrived, you survived, you tried - even if barely. for the year, days, life to come, live. live in the moment. stay. breathe. it gets better. ❞

❝ when we're in pain, people are too quick to say, 'get over it', 'move on', 'its not that bad' but we don't get over grief by denying it. we have to feel it, we have to give it it's due. we have to dive down to the very depths of our sorrow, relive every terrible moment and endure the torture of asking what could've been and what will now be. we have to bleed out before our hearts can start beating again. ❞

❝ how many of you didn't know certain things about yourself until you discovered them after spending a few hours with a new friend or going on holiday with your cousins? then suddenly you came across a trait you never knew you had. it's like you have to go through new experiences to know how you'd respond to them.
          
          
          you need to taste new food to find out what your favourite cuisine is. you need to press your feet into the sand and the ocean to remember how good it feels. you need to laugh at a few jokes before you learn more about your humour. you need to meet people, talk about life, philosophy and politics to know what your views on those matters truly are. you need to feel happiness like never before to realise what it means to you and how much you need it in your life.
          
          
          and you need to feel pain on the hands of people that you'll accept you don't need going forward. you need to fall head over heels in love with the wrong person to know what it's like when it's with the right. and sometimes you need to go through the darkest moments in your life so that when they pass - you realise that you want to truly welcome the light. ❞ 

❝ it's just really scary how unpredictable people are. at one moment, they make you feel as if you're finally home and get you all comfortable and attached to them and the next they could be so brutally distant and harsh to you. that isn't everyone though. life has its own ways to teach us a lesson that is letting go of what doesn't want to stay. believe me what wants to stay will find a reason to, despite all odds. who wants to genuinely be with you will never abandon you. someone who doesn't wanna stay won't care how deeply you love them. it's a tough lesson to learn. i hope you let go knowing that the better is yet to come. stay strong. ❞

❝ start where you are and move with humility; recognizing that you may make mistakes along the way and that's okay. what matters is that you are showing up. do not let fear or shame consume you. do not invite them into the conversation. give them no power, no voice, no authority, no control. instead, choose grace; knowing that grace will guide your steps and help you to find your footing as you navigate your way to the future. lean in to the fight - even when it's uncomfortable, even when it'd be easier to back down and do nothing. take your stance. there's work to do. the universe is in motion and so should be you. ❞

❝ there will be some things you won't get over. some things that will sting you so hard they will set you back to where you started and you will hurt and hurt and hurt. but you will also rise from it. you will learn from the past. you will adapt and survive no matter how hard it gets. you will shape your own reality and accept how you should never settle for anything less than you deserve. ❞

          ❝ I want you to know that you do not always need to give it your 100%. You really do not. Let's be honest here, you're human and you're simply not always going to be able to. There are days when you're only able to give it your 80% or your 50% or heck, even less than 10% and THAT IS OKAY. Only skimming one paragraph, only solving one equation, only memorising five words is better than not doing anything because you have this idea in your head that things are only worth doing when you can give what you consider to be your 100%. Even a 1% is better than 0% and some days that is all you can give. Worry not because it will still add up and you will succeed. ❞

❝ Tomorrow is not promised. Not a single second or minute is, so, live for today. Keep the promises you make. Take action on the things you desire and need. Remind those that matter to you that they are loved and you are grateful for them. Never leave someone you care about on negative terms. Give more than you take. Make the calls you've been telling yourself you'll do 'tomorrow'. Let small things go. Never go to bed angry. We will all die one day so learn to live each day with the promise to yourself that it'll be better than yesterday. ❞
