You are more than your reputation.
Who cares what other people say anyway? Every day is a new day, a new slate, to start over and be who you want to be. Only you have the power to define who you are.
You are more than your mistakes.
Here is a little secret for you: everyone makes mistakes. As much as Hannah Montana made a joke out of this simple fact, it is true. We make mistakes to learn, so pick yourself up, and make yourself better from it.
You are more than your past.
The past is over, and the future is yet to come. Focus on taking each day minute by minute. Make the most of every opportunity you are given. You cannot change the past but you can take control of your future.
You are more than your grades.
Your grades do not define your character. If you have conquered the material, good for you. If you need help, do not be afraid to reach out. One bad grade is not the end of your career; it is a learning experience.
You are more than your addiction.
Your addiction does not define who you are. You are strong, brave, and worth it. Know that there are so many people who love you and want you to get better, so do not be afraid to reach out. You are not alone.
You are more than a stereotype.
Nobody is the same. You have such amazing characteristics that make you uniquely you. Do not be afraid to show the world who you really are; we will all be better people for it.
You are more than your gender and sexuality.
No matter who you love, you are so very loved, appreciated, and important. Do not allow people to tell you otherwise. You are deserving of respect and care.
You are more than your fears.
Your fears do not make you weak. In fact, they make you work harder to be brave. Your fears are what make you human, but do not let them control you. You, my dear, are even stronger than your fears.
You are more than your self-esteem.
Living in a society that constantly tears you down is not easy. Live proudly. Live boldly. Live confidently as the best version of you.
You are more.
