Life is strange. It can be cruel and it can be beautiful. Nobody gets out of the cruel times but for sure there are some beautiful moments that happen and when they do you have to live for them.
Make the most of your morning coffee. The 6am wakes where you hear the birds and the morning begins. Fall in love with everything around you.
We make mistakes. We have moments where we don’t recognise ourselves but these are growing pains leading to something special. You have to hold on to hope. Because when one door closes another will open in time.
People will leave. People will do you wrong. They can be unfair and hurt you. Life is full of disappointment. Don’t expect anything; let life do it’s thing. I have been given everything I have wanted and been unhappy. I have also had nothing and been unhappy. But once a started to accept it and become comfortable in it. That’s when things happen. Life teaches you so many lessons; some are hard and some are needed to give you the courage to continue.
It’s been a difficult year for us all. Not seeing our loved ones and having to come to the realisation that this is the new normal for a while. In all the sadness I believe there has been some good. We appreciate each other a little more. Take time to call and genuinely have meaningful conversations. Discover new hobbies and take time for ourselves. Slowing life down and really appreciating everything. It’s not easy and it will never be but we can all be there for one another and show kindness and compassion.
Sometimes the kindest things we can do for ourselves is let people go. It’s painful when some meant a lot. The memories will always be there but in order to grow letting go is essential. New friends and lovers will come along and make you realise your worth. Never let anyone make you feel like you are not enough. Everyone is on a path and we have to respect that.
Be kind to everyone. We are all in need of more kindness to one another and ourselves. We are all in this together. Don’t let the cruelties of the world dim your light. Make every moment count and if some days your light is a little low. That is okay. It’s okay to have bad days. Just have hope good ones will come a long.
Everything happens for a reason. You meet people for a reason. It will come round to your time eventually. Don’t look at what you haven’t got or look at what others have. You will have it eventually. Just keep going and keep believing in yourself and magical things will happen. Be open to new opportunities and people and let them in.
Lots of love and happiness
