Life’s already hard enough, people are already assholes enough, your mind is puzzling enough, so cut yourself some slack.
I know your 20s is a confusing and painful time. You always feel like you could do so much more but you’re just seemingly wasting your time, getting nowhere. It’s okay.
I hope you’ll love yourself enough to let go of what doesn’t serve you, the baggage that doesn’t define you any longer — ruthlessly.
Like everyone else, I’ve had shitty experiences in my life. But you know what, it’s okay.
Finding the right motivation is the most important part. Once you have the drive, it’s only a matter of adding good habits and removing the bad ones.
Sometimes it will feel hard because I don’t get to do what I like immediately but I must remember that it’s a step toward the life I want and I must persevere regardless.
I hope right now you’re saying to yourself, “Hell no! It doesn’t sound good, I want a better life for myself and my family. I want to be remembered when I’m gone. I want to change and impact peoples lives!”
Is this all there is? Is this all what life has got to offer me? Is this all I’ll ever experience? Is this all there is to me? You’re deeply scared. It dawns on you that your dream might actually never come true. You were promised the world but this is what you end up with.
Pain is good at making you suddenly conscious of your humanness. It’s like a knock on your head, waking up all your neurons and reminding you of your own mortality.
