In a world with so many what-ifs I've decided to be sure about how I will live my life and today I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you.
Starting with, just eat the ice cream and enjoy it. Stop saving everything for later or when. Use the good china, the good perfume, make-up, that awesome outfit, the nice shoes. Stop saving it for a special occasion, enjoy it now. Treat yourself the way you treat your house guests, do this every day! Take the day off, take the vacation, even if it’s alone, do it now, and stop waiting for someone else. Spend some money on yourself, give compliments, say I love you, ask them out, tell them you admire them, and don’t tolerate bullshit or bad behavior. Stop making excuses for others' bad behavior, and stop apologizing for your existence, you’re allowed to take up space, learn that thing you always wanted to learn, and you’re never too old or young. Fuck society's expectations, fuck the patriarchy, you’re never too much, stop muting yourself to make others comfortable. Be the full expression of yourself, always be kind, always be KIND, JUST BE FUCKING KIND, Treat the planet with respect, Eat REAL whole food, grow your own food, plant a tree that makes food. Listen to the birds, the ocean, and the trees in the wind, and watch the sunrise and sunset. STOP watching the news, just STOP, focus on the good, look for the good acknowledge the good. Paint your nails, everyone should paint their nails, decide to be happy, and fill your home with good music, good people, and good food. SHARE Everything, give more hugs, give more kisses, and Respect the people who have been here longer than you, they sometimes have mad knowledge, listen. Listen to people when they talk to you, really listen, don’t judge, don’t gossip, and did I mention to just be kind? Share your knowledge with the people who need it, tell yourself I love you as much as possible, try new things often, and get comfortable with discomfort, this is how we grow, read a lot, share your thoughts, write a lot, be nice to each other, its hard right now for a lot of people. Enjoy life, regardless of what we are told and taught, this is the reason we are here, to experience, and to have fun, not to work hard.
"Break out of your thinking mind, listen to your heart, follow your heart, embrace your heart, break all the mother fucking rules, follow your intuition, and don’t forget, just eat the ice cream."
