As I get older the more I realise things happen for a reason. I always believe in taking the chance, taking the opportunity even if you are scared because it can amount to such a beautiful thing later on.
Think about your life and the opportunities that you have got. Some of them wouldn’t be possible if you didn’t do one thing. For example, you may not have gone to that one event, not met a certain friend or simply just not showing up. Life is weird and sometimes not pleasant but you have to ride it to get the really good times.
You will meet lots of different people of this journey. Some who you wish you never met, some you wish you met earlier and some you wish you knew a little longer. All these people shape you. The different behaviours teach you about yourself and how you want to live your life. Meet as many people as you can. People are interesting and this makes you grow. You may not agree with how a certain person lives their life but we are all human. I find talking to others such a comfort as we are all alike in different ways, nobody is perfect and that’s what’s such a nice thing to know.
A thing I have realised is get as much experience wherever you can. This doesn’t have to be jobs but in any area of life. Finding what you like and even what you dislike is so important. Never put pressure on yourself. Your time will come but just ride the waves and see what happens. We live in a society that is driven by control and sometimes the best thing is to not be.
Some days you will feel on top of the world and do so much and others you won’t be able to get out of bed. Both are okay!! I’m learning to live in the uncomfortable and be content in where I am. Stop looking at others and being jealous. I have been there but then actually got to know these people and they are more messed up then you think.
Focus on watering your own grass. Love who you are becoming. It’s never to late to start again. Ideas change, people change, we change and that’s not a bad thing. Stop thinking that change is negative. Stop hanging on to the what ifs and if I did that differently. You are meant to be here! You can’t change the past so stop thinking about it. However, you can certainly change the future.
Take care of yourself in this still weird times.
Lots of love and happiness
