Melissa Wilstead: pick yourself up

late night rambling comin in hot! fair enough warning right?

well, i hope so.

life can be hard. everyone knows that in their own unique way. life comes at you fast. everyone has experienced that in their own flash of their eyes. life can be boring, or a drag. and everyone has felt that way also.

why am i saying all of this that we've all already heard? because lately life has been a little rocky. i've had to pull myself up many times in the past little while and i'm here to say it doesn't get easier, but it is worth it. the other day i was on pinterest.. go figure right? but get this. i read something that really did help me see that everything is okay. that whatever i'm feeling, good or bad, is OKAY to feel. and even better... completely normal. you are never the only one who is feeling that way, or that has felt that way. i promise you that.

"... Which is why I am not here to tell you tomorrow is another day. That the sun will go on shinning. Or there are plenty of fish in the sea. What I will tell you is; it's okay to be hurting as much as you are. What you are feeling is not only completely valid but necessary -- because it makes you so much more human. And though I can't promise it will get better any time soon, I can tell you that it will -- eventually. For now, all you can do is take your time. Take all the time you need." - Lang Leav

so, life is worth it. and the life you were given at least deserves a chance to be great. to be amazing. so let it.

"Today I want you to ask yourself one question. "Why not you?" Why not you to do something for work that you love? Why not you to have a healthy body? Why not you to have healthy love? Why not you to be, have, or do anything you have ever dreamed?! We are so quick to think others are deserving over ourselves. The truth is that we are all deserving SO WHY NOT YOU?!" - Jillian Micheals

sometimes a breath of fresh air, and maybe some familiar faces is all you need. or to sit down and read your favorite book, or quote. maybe you just need to go out and have a good laugh. whatever it is. do it. YOU DESERVE IT.
