"Choose, everyday to forgive yourself. You are human, flawed, and most of all worthy of love." -Alison Malee
It is days like today where I need this the most. I so easily forget that life is so much more than test scores and material things. Life is about making mistakes and accepting them. Choose to forgive yourself.
Life is about laughing with your friends when you should be studying. Because in the end what will you remember more?
Life is about spending time with your family and telling them you love them, because you don't know when it will be the last. Choose to forgo your pride and apologize even when you know you're right.
Life is about realizing you are so worthy of unfailing love. This love comes from all around us. Choose to accept this love even when you feel like you don't want to.
Most importantly, life is about memories. So when you get those final grades back or you don't get the job you want or life seems to not be going so good, it's in those moments where you remember those memories. And if you didn't choose to sit around with your friends instead of studying, what will you have to think about.
There is so much happening in the world around us that it is important for us to reflect on how lucky and blessed we are even when we feel like we aren't.
So always remember that you are so worthy of love, acceptance, and belonging and the rest of it will fall into place.
