If you are currently experiencing disappointment, pain or frustration because something did not work out the way you hoped it would, I want you to hear this: If it was not meant to be, there is something out there that is. Something bigger. Something more exciting. Something more special. Something that will heal your soul in a much kinder and softer way. Whatever it is that did not work out, I understand that the pain might be unbearable right now, but it will be lighter, it will be easier to carry and soon you will be happier than you have ever been before, I promise. Be patient, my love, better things are coming.

pick your friends wisely
a good friend can be a great support in your journey towards bettter mental health even without you leaning too much on them for support. just their positive presence in your life can be helpful in most cases!
on the other hand, a negative presence can drain you causing your mental health to deteriorate further. make sure to be mindful of such people and create some distance from them before they start to affect you and your life.
fill your life with positive vibes and people. decide what you need and work towards it for enhanced mental health. you can do it ✨

a soft reminder: even though you might be disappointed in how you did this year, you still made a lot of progress. you tried and tried again, so many times. every little thing you achieved. every breakdown you got up from. every moment of happiness you encountered. every little act of self care and kindness you did. it all matters. they all helped you grow. they are all small victories to be proud of. it's not always clear to see, because day to day everything feels the same, but I promise you've come a long way since the beginning of the year. so please be extra gentle with yourself when looking back. be proud of yourself too, if you can. you did well.
Could I just say something real quick?
It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.
