“Life owes you nothing at all, it can be hard, horrible even. But please don’t stay blinded in your prisons of loneliness, unhappiness, unfulfilled relationships, and misery of your own past. Or believe the lies that promise you that your current comfort, finances, and situation are enough, and always will be. Stop thinking you can never have better or do better yourself…as life drains slowly from you. Be brave, change what you can, find joy, no matter the cost. True peace is created through loving yourself. It’s not created by believing the lies you tell yourself when your own life crumbles, stagnates, fails, and reeks of conforming repeatedly. Even if you don’t love yourself, try to love yourself enough to see past the illusion of your own prisons you’ve created for yourself, and to break free of them, so you can live free.”
