• Be the best version of you. The best you you can be.
  • Breathe. In and out. Breathe.
  • Choose your attitude wisely.
  • Do the things you love because you love them. Nothing else matters. Not compliments, recognition, acknowledgement, fame, or fortune. All that matters is how the things you love make you feel. Don’t shape what you love to fit into other people’s idea of what it should be. You are the painter, the canvas, the muse, the paintbrush, and the paint. You have all the ingredients to create something of your own.
  • Don’t be afraid of the work ahead of you. That’s how you learn, how you grow, and most importantly how you get to where you want to be.

  • Don’t bottle your feelings inside.
  • Don’t hide your sorrows.
  • Don’t just give good advice take it too. Teach and learn. Learn and teach.
  • Don’t limit your happiness. There is no definition of what it means to be happy. You decide what your happiness looks, feels, and sounds like. It’s up to you. It always has been.
  • Dream without worry.
  • Everyone has to start at the beginning you are no exception.
  • Everything is going to work out. Your dreams and hopes will find their place in this world.
  • Everything is not about you. Everything is not about them. Find a middle ground between those two extremes.
  • Getting lost is how you get found.
  • I know you get lonely but that doesn’t mean you are alone. * There are so many people who love and need you. Loneliness comes and goes. It won’t stay forever.
  • If you don’t believe in yourself, and I mean wholeheartedly believe in yourself no one else will. You’ve got to have that faith and confidence in who you are, what you want, and how you choose to live. You have to believe in yourself. Your dreams, your talents, and your hopes for this life you have.
  • It will get better. Give yourself and life time.
  • It’s okay not to be okay all the time.
  • Laugh without restraint.
  • Life is a give and take relationship. I hope you give more than you take.
  • Love yourself the way you want to be loved by others.
  • Make time for yourself to do some self pampering.
  • Mistakes and failure are not things to be ashamed of. *They are the catalysts of growth and wisdom.
  • Smile freely. Your smile lights up your face.Your smile is one easy way to make someone’s day.
  • Take care of yourself. Mind, body, and soul.
  • There are no bad days. Only bad moments.
  • This is your time. Be who you want to be.
  • Vulnerability is not weakness.
  • You are beautiful. Really, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. I know some days you don’t feel beautiful but even then YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Let yourself embrace your beauty. Don’t dampen it with negative thoughts or cruel words.
  • You are imperfect and that is a beautiful thing. Stop trying to deny that.
  • You are loved.
  • You are more than good enough.
  • You are not broken. You are not shattered. You are not a lost cause.
  • You are the main character in your story, stop sitting on the sidelines.
  • Your art matters. Whether it’s your poetry, stories, songs, or drawings they matter. You matter. No one has to tell you that for it to be the truth. Have faith in yourself and the things you do.
  • Your fears are only as powerful as you allow them to be. * Don’t allow them to paralyze you from living your life.
  • Your life doesn’t revolve around a man. Your story is one about love of self before any other kind of love. Please don’t forget that.
  • Your life is meant to be lived.
  • Your scars might not be physical but they are still there. They are a part of you. Reminders of internal battles you have won. Don’t ignore them or feel ashamed of them. They are a part of your story but they don’t define you.
