Do you ever feel like you are not enough? You have those days where you feel stupid, defeated or even a failure? I think we all have one of those days, one time or another.
Even for me, I read self help books, I reflect, I listen to podcasts, I attend therapy sessions. That doesn't mean I don't have days where I question my entire existence and wonder if I'm ever going to feel like I've got it. I just want to have an honest human moment in this space. People often think how do I stay so positive and keep my shit together. Let me tell you, sometimes I have no idea what the hell is going on and just hanging on for dear life in hopes we figure something out.
Sometimes, it just takes one person to change your life. One to be there and push you to being a better person. One that believes in you. Just one person. Luckily, I have had the privilege of having many conversations with many friends. All remind me how we often spend so much time staring into darkness but forget how much light shines above us and moreso shines within us. I do not believe there is anything more dangerous and destructive a force in this world than 3 things - love, hope, and faith, the greatest being love. But I do not believe there is anything more necessary or perfectly beautiful either.
• Focus on what really matters. Do what you gotta do, to be where you want to be.

It's not wrong to want more in your life, but it's wrong to spend your time living vicariously through someone else when you could be out striving for it yourself - whether it's love, or wealth, or anything else. After all, it's easier for someone to decide for you but harder to undo the choice. If there's something you want - no matter what it is - don't just sit around wanting it. Reach for it.
My timeline is going to look different than yours and that is alright. Some days you feel on top of the world, other days you cry a lot. Chin up, day by day. I love you, wherever you are on your journey.
