The following has actually come straight out of my journal so, welcome to my mind.

I genuinely find so much beauty in the world around me. When I think about humans, my mind goes to so many places. Yes there is evil, and a lot of it, but there is also so much love.

When I think of the people in my life, whether they are close with me or not, I whole-heartedly cannot wait to see where they go in their lives. To see their success and love and everything that they accomplish and endure. Your life is so special and so precious. You are amazing and the world would not be the same without you in it.

I find it so amazing and beautiful how every single person is their own and has their own likes and dislikes and feelings and emotions and experiences. Like that is so so cool to me. No person is the same and every single one is just as important as the other and I don’t know how to fully express how sick that is.

I am so proud of every single person for being here today and for getting through every hardship they have experienced. Life can be so hard and we are all just trying the very best that we can. It is so important to remember that when thinking about yourself, but also thinking of others. Because everyone has their own shit and their own lives and there is no point to make somebody else’s day worse by being mean or negative or anything even if you want to in the moment. Everything you say and do affects the people around you more than we will ever truly realize. So why wouldn’t you want to take that and make someone feel better? To be kind and to spread positivity and love. Be the bigger person, you don’t get anything for being mean. There is so much pain and hurt in this world and you have the power to make somebody feel just a little bit better by your own actions, so why not just do that? Life is too short to spend your time making other people feel bad about themselves.

Obviously nobody is perfect and there’s times where you may slip up and say something you regret, but learn from it, own up to it, and apologize. Remember to always spread love and continue to do the best you can because there are so many wonderful things and experiences ahead of you. You are loved and you are important.

I want to also add that all of this being said, correcting people and informing others with new information or letting them know when they are in the wrong is not a bad thing. And if you are on the receiving end of that situation, be open to changing your opinion after being presented with new information (the previous sentence is not my own words, I have seen it in other places, but I believe it is very important to remember and think about). Making mistakes is inevitable, but please remember to learn from them and grow as a person.

Also, it is so important to remember to not only spread love to others, but also to yourself. There are so many amazing qualities about you and things to learn about yourself. Find out what is best for you. Right now is an extremely difficult time in this world and it can be emotionally draining. This time can be a great opportunity to find things you enjoy. Or do things that you used to do, that you may not do as much anymore.

It is also important to remember that even if you don’t do all of that, it is still okay. Rest is okay. You deserve that. You deserve a peace of mind. Right now you are doing the very best that you can and I am proud of you. You should give yourself some credit.
