When it seems like you don't have the energy to get out of bed, and you can't bring yourself to make your daily cup of coffee or wing your eyeliner the way you like, tell yourself, "I'm alive, and today is a new day."

When you can't seem to take it much longer, when you're sick of the same old cycle, you must remember all the smiles, all the laughs, and all the happiness you have brought others.

When that boy breaks your heart, and you cry for days on end and sit on the shower floor for hours, you must think about the one who will come along and show you what love really is, and show you everything you missed out on while with him.

When you're tired every single day, and struggle to do the simplest tasks, think about your mother's smile lines and how proud she is of you and how far you've come.

When you're consumed by the dark clouds and the rain, and when it seems like you're at rock bottom, waiting for another trap door to be revealed, tell yourself, "I'm alive, and today is a new day."
