To whoever is reading this:

Moments throughout our lives are one of a kind, yet we try to compare our mistakes to everyone else's. Why, though? Why must we try to compare ourselves? No individuals are alike, yet people try to define us by our mistakes. Your mistakes will never define you; they sometimes make you clean.

Throughout my own life, I have let individuals ridicule me due to my own personal mistakes. I am here to tell you that you are not perfect. Now, I know that this is hard to accept, but it is the honest truth. No one can ever be perfect no matter if you are putting in 100 percent into everything you do. Humans will always fall short no matter the smaller area of failure.

This week—this week in a long run has been one of the most emotional weeks of my life. You learn more about yourself when you finally hit rock bottom than you do when you are at your highest moment. I have learned that at the end of the day, the only opinion that matters is yours. You are the one who has to look into the mirror and say I am OK with who I am. I am OK with the decision I made today.

Certain people in my life have made it especially difficult for me to let me become the person I am. No, I am not a child and yes, you are my parent—but in the end, I will make my own choices and at the end of the day, I will deal with the consequences. You cannot keep dictating me on how to live my life when you do not want to be a part of it unless there is something in it for you.

Also, when it comes to not feeling special. Stop it right there. You do not need to belittle yourself. You are important, and you are your own definition of "beautiful and worthwhile."

To all the girls that are stuck on someone, don't be. So what if you didn't find your perfect match with this last guy. You need to realize the value of your own self-worth and realize that it's OK to not be OK. You are allowed to have a meltdown but you need to realize that the world is not going to stop when you have this meltdown. You are going to be OK. You will find the perfect one for you in due time. Just be patient, because God has a plan for you.

Now, since we all need to learn that it is OK not to be perfect, we need to learn that we have to stick up for ourselves no matter if we hurt another persons feelings. Yes. That you are possibly picking the worst career choice of your life. It does not matter what you want me to do with my life, it is my choice. So if someone wants to judge you and ridicule you, then they need to reevaluate their own selves.

Remember, you got this. Keep calm and moving along because you never know the moments you are missing out on.
