We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve.
1. Time does not heal. Time makes you forget and does a good job of making memories blurry. Take healing into your own hands - don’t wait for someone else to do it.
2. Do not waste your I love you’s. The more you flaunt the word around to people you’ve just met and early lovers, the less it will mean when love really hits.
3. Create a list of things you want to do in life. I’m not talking about going to see the northern lights or visiting Hawaii. The little things that can be easy to accomplish such as: trying caviar, painting your room, and trying that new sushi place. Checking off the little things in life is the best self-esteem boost.
4. Always take the high road. If you’re working with rude people or someone has done wrong to you, do not stoop to their level. What’s goes around will come back around. Trust me.
5. Offer to help. People appreciate someone that genuinely wants to give a helping hand whether it’s setting the table or carrying heavy boxes.
6. Stop being hard on yourself. Who cares if you did not get an A on that test? Does it matter if you embarrassed yourself at lunch the other day? Move on. We’re only human.
7. Read more.
8. Be open minded. People who can not see past their own opinions do not go anywhere in life.
9. Accept your flaws.
10. Invest in yourself. Buy yourself that new art set, or new shoes, or order some good take out. The little things in life are often over looked, but they add up in the best ways.
2. If you feel you’ve been hurt, you’re hurt. Period. No one else is allowed to tell you how much you’re allowed to hurt.
3. Make the blame. But also take the blame.
4. People are gonna call you, “Crazy” and “Weird” and “Mad” for doing your own thing. Take the compliment.
5. Everyone’s first priority is their own selves. So put yourself first no matter what.
6. If you like that notebook, buy it. So what if you have more than enough empty pages back home? More the merrier.
7. Write. Draw. Sing. Dance. Act. Cry. Laugh. Curse. Do whatever the fuck you want. So long as it doesn’t affect them, no one has the right to complain against it.
8. The world is full of hypocrites. You may even find one in the mirror at times. But it’s alright.
9. Whatever you do, don’t put reins on your dreams. Dreams are the only highways with an infinite horizon that holds the impossible.
10. Laugh. Keep laughing. Happy is your best look.
Because, if you could love someone, and keep loving them, without being loved back … then that love had to be real. It hurt too much to be anything else.
