this is why you feel invisible

if you wait for the applause, it'll never come.

we often wait for others to celebrate us so much that we forget why we do things in our own lives.

don't get me wrong, being celebrated is a great feeling. I love being told that I'm doing a good job. however, that only feels genuine when I'm working on doing something that matters to me.

if I focus too much on how I will be perceived and what it will do for others, I lose track of the essence of who I am.

be yourself, be genuine, and most importantly, celebrate yourself.

sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaaaace!

why should you be optimistic when everything sucks

life is suffering.

so if we're going to go through hardships regardless, maybe it's worth giving ourselves grace.

in my life, I've found the most peace when I consciously decide to look into the positive side of the challenges I face. it isn't easy, but it makes things just that much more better.

maybe optimism drives you nuts, but don't knock it until you've given it a fair shot.

do you even know why you’re sad

I used to ignore my own pain.

I didn't see it as something I needed to address because I could always find a distraction to get me thinking about something else. it worked for a while, until suddenly I found myself deep in a trench that I couldn't see out of.

we experience pain because our body wants us to address an issue. we feel pain emotionally because our mind wants us to just acknowledge that something isn't right.

listen to yourself, you'll be happy you did.
