"You don't have to be afraid, fear is just a lie. Open your eyes and you will see he will open the sky."
I know I'm not the only person who becomes envious every time they open up their Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. It's easy to get sucked into the almost perfect world. I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not perfect and to be honest I'm far from it. I'm constantly doubting my choices, self-conscious of my appearance and my anxiety scores to new high heights. Sometimes I'm silently waving my white flag at adult life responsibility. Thinking about going back to middle school where my biggest issue was convincing my mom to buy me a new hair crimper seems too sweet. To be frank, being an adult sucks sometimes. (Sorry to break it to the high school me who couldn't wait to get out into the world.) Now it's not always like this, it's actually exhilarating finally traveling the world and exploring all aspects of life while painting my own path, but you know what? It's OK to focus on the negative sometimes. I'm not the, "Put it on the shelf and leave it there," kind of girl. I'm the let's face this issue so that it's not sitting in the back of my mind haunting me every waking hour. So here's some inspiration for those moments when the issues of life make it seem like the world is crashing at your feet.
It's OK not to be OK.
Sometimes all you need is a "me" hour. Grab a book, a cup of tea and just take an hour to yourself. Sulk a little, cry little and when that hour is over pick your big girl self back up and remember who you are and how you got to be the awesome person you are!
You are important.
God put you on this earth with a purpose in mind. You are special. You are unique. There is nobody else in the world like you. Crazy to think that you are one of a kind. The earth would literally not be the same place without you because there isn't another person quite like you!

Social media is a dangerous and scary place. People get to make their lives seem envious and the reality is that person behind the screen isn't always the perfect image you see on your phone. Being perfect is an unrealistic idea. Don't get caught up in those who seem like their lie is way more put together than yours. We all got some type of crap that we deal with daily.
Open your eyes to the beauty of life.
Life is such a beautiful thing; just think living is the longest thing you'll ever do and every day you wake up you have an opportunity to do something you've never done before. You have the ability to start each new day with a clean slate. Take a look at your family, friends, pets, home and job. All of that has some beauty in it. Appreciate it, even the smallest parts of it.
You have the power to be happy.
You control your destiny, your happiness and your life. Take control of your life and choose to be happy. Choose to be the person you want to be and make it happen. You are the dictator of your own life remember that you can be anything you want to be and life every day to the best way that makes you happy.
