A lot of times, I forget to give myself a little love and support. When it comes to the busy schedule and all the goals and tasks I have to accomplish, I forget that sometimes spending a little time with myself can make me feel a little better about the world around me. I forget to sit down and just write about how I feel. I forget to watch a funny video from time to time, or even binge watch a few episodes of my favorite show.

I've often lived my life in the hopes that it will influence others. This has been one of my biggest goals since I had discovered my strongest characteristic was my voice. I would try to change the world every chance I would get, but I would forget that sometimes, I don't need to change the world, I just need to make my own world a little easier to live in. I need to take the time to relax, to listen to my favorite song without feeling the pressure that I have to do work while jamming out or that I am wasting time doing whatever else. I need to take the time to look at my own little world and appreciate what I have.

I have great friends and they love me for who I am, but I do not need to live for them. I do not need to base my entire world around them. I need to be a little selfish a little more often, I need to say no when I'm tired and yes when I have free time, but to always know that I am living my life for me and not anyone else. I am in college to get an education for myself so I may have a future in a field that I love learning about and experiencing. I have to set goals for myself that aren't so far away and give me a sense of accomplishment when I finish them. But most of all, I need to spend more time loving myself. I need to learn to love the person I am each day. Some days I wake up unhappy with what I'm doing or how I am portraying myself and I need to take more time to show the world the side of me that I think it deserves to see. I want to love myself so badly, but I also stop myself from actually loving myself as a whole. I need to be a better friend to myself.
