Deep thought over my coffee:
We live in such an unrealistic society. We expect to be happy, all the time; wealthy without hardship; educated without exertion; beautiful to an impossible standard; youthful forever; fearless in all things. We berate ourselves because we 'choose' to be sad; or don't 'deserve' good. How ridiculous! Life happens. Its imperfect, messy, frightening, and dreadful, sometimes. Fear is an adaptive reflex. Grief is healing. Pain is a lesson.

I want to embrace it all. (Please remind me when I forget.)
If no one has said it to you, today:
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE SPECIAL. YOU ARE AMAZING.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE SPECIAL. YOU ARE AMAZING.
Now, what are you going to DO with all that? Because, feelings don't define us, ACTIONS DO.
