Life is meant to be lived

 

                             

You have to chase the things that ignite you. You have to do the things

that bring you joy. You have to surround yourself with the people who

bring you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and 

embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted 

and loved. You have to do the work to heal yourself, even when it hurts

especially when it hurts, so that you do not continue to approach your

life within the boundary of what is heavy within you. You have to put 

yourself out there, and you cannot worry about what other people think, 

you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness or inspiration because 

you are scared of how you will be perceived. You have to unapologetic in 

the way that you exist here. You have to believe that your ideas, and your 

hope, and your being, deserve to take up space. You have to believe that

you have purpose.
