Life is crazy, and it won’t slow down for anybody, but you can find happiness in reliable things.
Remember there will always be things to find solace in, and these things will always be within you and never leave. Noone can ever take away the way I feel when I write. When I see the words fall into place before me, everything is okay. And I will always be able to find comfort in a book, lost in a different reality for a little while. No one can ever stop me from going outside and looking at the stars, or going hiking to a new place. The energy that runs down my spine when I hear a good song, or the way the light falls in through the window on a sunny day. I will always take comfort in these things, no matter what happens, I will be okay. Everything is going to be okay.
Never let someone take away your happy things. It’s important to remind yourself that there is a universe inside of you, and that universe is changing every single day. You have a unique perspective on the world that no one but you will ever have. Only you know how valuable those experiences have been to you, and you’re the only who can choose who to share them with. Don’t let anyone ever convince you that your story doesn’t matter, because these pieces of everyone else’s story are what make the world feel whole.
Lastly, remember that life goes on. Even if something seems overwhelming right now, the truth is that time heals all wounds. You’ve probably heard that before.... But the reason why people say it is because it’s true. You have many, many days ahead of you, and every single day is going to hold so many different experiences and memories. You can never predict what is going to happen in a day, much less a week or month or more. Nothing you will ever experience in your life is going to be too much, because the pain only gets lesser and lesser with time. That means, however you feel right now reading this, just know that it only gets better from here. Although you will always have struggles in your life, it’s important to focus on the positive. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and eventually you will wake up and won’t care about the situation anymore. Everything is fixable, and everything is going to be okay.
