Don’t give up hope. The world may be dark, maybe getting darker, but you’re still here. The sun is never gone forever. Even though you may think but there’s no way that you can continue, you can. Don’t get caught up in the tangle of the little things but also don’t let the giants swallow you. You are very significant. You matter. Live.
Why does it always feel like the holidays are some kind of competition? A contest to see who is charitable enough, who is good enough, who has enough money and time to be the best gift-giver or receiver out there? But the fact is this: you don’t have a thing to prove. Do as much as you’re able, and if you give from your heart, be satisfied. The people who matter will already love you, and you deserve that love. Let it in.
You are so fabulous. It is mindblowing.
Just think, there is at least one thing that you really rock at
And it may be hard to see
And even harder to appreciate
But you are one fine piece of human being,
You stardust jockey.
I know that there are people who are out there right now, telling you that
You aren’t good enough,
You aren’t thin enough,
You won’t amount to anything ever,
And I know that the strongest voice is probably the one in your own head
So I’m giving you earbuds
That are made of moon magic and love energy
And they are going to rock a constant stream of anthems
For you from now until forever
Because you are worth every second of every day
And nobody – least of all someone who doesn’t know you –
Has the right to make you feel like that’s not how it is.
