To The Girl Who Thinks Her World Is Crashing Down,
As you get older your mindset does a total 180. We start thinking about our futures, goals, things we want to achieve in life. We start thinking about every piece of advice mom or dad gave us growing up. It's scary to think that everything you do now affects your future. One wrong move and it could ruin everything. The worst part about growing up is that tomorrow is never promised. Things happen that we cannot control. One moment everything is okay, the next it seems as if your whole world is crashing down. How you handle the situations tell a lot about who you are as a person. One thing I can promise you is to never give up. Whatever life throws at you, don't you dare stop chasing your dreams. Ever. Life is all about the mindset you set for yourself to achieve. Even though at times it can be very hard, stay focused, stay happy. Most importantly, don't change who you are. The pity-party has ended, go out there and fight for what you want in life. Take all the setbacks and negative things that came your way and use them as your strength. Make everything in life a life lesson. I'm giving you the advice I try to give myself every day. At nineteen years old, I can't even begin to explain how much I went through. The things that knock me down tend to tear me apart inside, but I learned that if I let that get the best of me, all of those tough times win. At times I felt like I failed and still do to this day, but there is nothing you can change about it. If it is meant to be, it will be. The worst thing you can do for yourself is let that get the best of you. I had to make the hardest decision of my life but it was also the most responsible one. If you can walk away from a situation and say you worked the hardest you ever have and you did everything in your power you possibly could, that to me is the most amazing feeling in the world and nobody could ever take that away from you because you did that all on your own. I am not saying you can't get upset, but don't sit back and expect everything to work itself out. Take all that sadness and anger and turn it into a beautiful thing called courage and strength. Do not live your life with regrets. Follow your dreams and please don't give up. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. One day you're going to look back and ask yourself, "Why did I ever think that was the end for me?"
Sincerely,
The Girl Who Is Not Letting Life Get The Best Of Her
