A lot of people say that in a world filled with billions of people, you should be yourself - but what if you do not really know what that means? Listen to this: It is okay to feel lost and small compared to others; it is absolutely okay to have doubts and question your existence, because there are so many amazing people out there already, right? I just want you to know that you are allowed to take all the time you need to find out who you truly are, what you value and what you stand for. It is a never ending journey and it should not be rushed. Just remember that, even if you are struggling to be yourself right now, you are still worthy and beautiful exactly as you are. I am rooting for your healing and growth, my love.
There's out there a place for you. A place to be yourself, a place where you belong. A place where you'll feel wanted, where you are welcome. A place that will make you feel safe, at home.
And I know you'll find it soon.
any growth is still growth. when a plant grows, even if it is not yet flourishing or fully thriving, it is still surviving.

My PIN number to this day is my second grade best friends birthday. There are people I don’t talk to anymore whose families are still in my prayers. There are shirts I wear to bed from exes of 8 years ago who are married now with kids. And I haven’t found a macaroni salad recipe better than my college boyfriend’s mom’s. Our lives are made up of so many people and when people become parts of our lives, some parts remain long after they leave. And in the same exact way, it’s comforting to know there are so many lives you’re still a part of that you have no idea about.
