whatever you're doing right now, take a deep breath, than another. you are so beautiful. has anyone told you that lately? and there's something more important. you're strong. sometimes it feels like you're not. maybe even most the time. but please don't ever forget. you are strong than you know. every day, you wake up, no matter what, no matter what you've gone through, you wake up in the morning. take a second and appreciate that. after all these years, you will still have hope. maybe it's buried inside you. maybe that makes sounds ridiculous, but you keep going everyday. and that makes you incredible. but breathe right now. sometimes things are too much. and i want you to know that's okay. there will be times when you want to break down and cry, when times when you want to fall asleep and never wake up again. that doesn't make you weak. it makes you human. and that's beautiful, too. and after all that you've been through, you can still feel. because you know what that means? there's hope. it means that you'll feel love and happiness, it means you'll feel pride and joy. it means you're still alive, but more than that, it means you're still living. stay strong. stay beautiful. never stop feeling. but sometimes, just breathe.
