❝ 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. ❞

❝ idk who needs to hear this but be so completely yourself that everyone else feels safe to be themselves too. stop changing yourself, your habits, your way of thinking, acting, dressing, speaking; only to be liked or accepted by people or their society. as friends, stop being mean, pretending of it as a joke. stop being insensitive towards someone's appearance. stop letting the third one walk behind saying the path is too small. compromise. squeeze em in. as a girl, stop dressing or speaking in a certain way to be noticed by a specific guy. stop pretending to not notice when another girl needs your help. as a guy, stop killing your habits just because someone else says they're not 'manly' enough. as lovers, stop keeping things from the other just for their sake. as a parent, stop doing what others tell you what would be good for your child. life is too short to have it be lived as someone else. be responsible. stay you. ❞

❝ hey you. i want you to know that i'm proud of you. i'm proud of you for getting through another year. things have not exactly been smooth but i'm proud of you for getting back up each time life has pulled you down. i'm proud of you for trying, for speaking up. the year has taught you alot, changed you alot. you've achieved or done things you never thought you were capable of. give yourself some credit; the permission to unfold. strip down to the rawest and most authentic version of yourself. don't dwell on the past. look into it, learn from it, figure out where you went wrong and move on. do not conceal your emotions. you need not to be someone else. who you are is perfect. ❞

❝ 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. ❞
