Life’s been rough recently but if you’re reading this you’re still here. You know, it could be anything, depression, anxiety, heart break even just general stress. 

But if you’re reading this you’re getting through it even if it feels like you’re not going anywhere.

Life goes on around you and everyone is the main character in their own story, so be sure to give yourself every chance to succeed. Find friends, reach out, TAKE YOUR MEDICINE EVERYDAY, just because things look bad doesn’t mean they stay like that forever. 

I don’t know what everyone personally battles but when I was at my lowest last month I wanted someone to tell me the truth. Not give me the same cliche responses. When I finally got it I opened my eyes and started living my life again.

Life may be hard now, but I promise, it’s hard to beat someone who never quits. So take your mental health days, soak in the situation and then deal with your business. Life misses you. 

I heard wise words from watching shameless on Netflix.  I still think about that one line that will always be with me, “When you’re born you have 2 jobs on this world, to learn, and cope.” Keep it simple. Take what you learned, apply it. Cope with the hardships of life and learn new ways to live a better life. You can do it.

I love you guys. You are all capable and worthy and in the wise words of Dumbledore, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. But only to those who remember to turn on the light.” I’m not promising every day is going to be easy, but I am assuring you everything is going to be OK in the end because it has to be. Your life is going just as it is meant to. Some things don’t work out. That’s okay. If your life was a constant back to back success story could you ever truly appreciate it? Some things don’t work out because it was meant to TEACH you something.

It’s okay to be sad for a while, but remember to find happiness in your daily lives. Even if it’s something as small as eating a meal or showing affection to your pets.

Take your medicine.
Drink your water.
Breathe.
Unclench your jaw.
Relax your shoulders.

You got this. You are gonna do great.
