I’m so sorry it hurts. It wasn’t fair, what happened to you, and you don’t deserve to feel like that. But you’re not always going to be in pain. Better days are coming dear. You will Heal and be okay one day.

don’t abandon joy because it is brief. don’t commit to solitude because happiness is fleeting. it’s okay that good things do not last forever. it’s okay to simply enjoy a thing for as long as you have it.

Wake up and open your curtains. Your windows too.

Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.

Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.

Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.

Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.

Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 

If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 

Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.

Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.

Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 

Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.

-Notes to myself on how to become a better person this summer.

For everyone who is struggling with skin issues: You are incredibly beautiful and strong. I know it is painful, I know it is all you can see when you look at yourself in the mirror - but I promise you, my love, there is so much more to you than your skin. Barely anyone notices it as much as you do. So many people see the beautiful person behind it all. And that is what matters. The state of your skin does not reflect your worth. I hope you know that. You are beautiful and incredibly important no matter how much your skin is flaring up. Nevertheless I hope your skin will heal soon and I hope it will all be less painful for you. You deserve some peace.

go on more walks. walk for no reason. walk to solve a problem. walk to blow off steam. walk to get outside. walk to listen, read, and learn. walk to escape distractions. walk to improve your health. walk to think. a simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.

Just because you’ve done something once does not mean you are obligated to do it again. You can say no. You can set boundaries. Do not push yourself until you break.

breathe kiddo, close your eyes and have sweet dreams tonight. Things may not be perfect, but you’re trying. Be proud of yourself and just rest
