Becoming You, Becoming Me, Becoming F r e e

Life isn't always a bed of roses. You have to work with what you have. You have to learn to find joy in the little things and seemingly mundane moments. You have to love yourself, fully and truly. You have to learn to let some people in, those who prove themselves to be genuine. You have to k n o w yourself, on a deeper level. You have to know w h y you are the way you are and w h y you t h i n k the things you do. You have to be at peace with yourself and where you are in life. You have to know that the way things are now will not be forever. You have to know that life is only temporary. You have to know where it is you are going to spend your eternity. You have to be okay with w h o you are and what you've done. You have to be okay with letting people go. You have to cry when you feel like crying. You have to find hope in seemingly hopeless situations. You have to open yourself up to the possibility of being hurt. You have to spend time with yourself. You have to love yourself. You have to have self worth. You have to know your beliefs and your morals. You have to take a hard look at yourself and decide who it is that you wish to become. You have to put out the old. You have to welcome the new. You have to be okay with being stretched. You have to be okay with the struggle. You have to move forward. You have to shine your light. You have to know your purpose. You have to live and live life abundantly. You have to come face to face with your mistakes. Most of all, you have to live a life worth living. You have to live and not just exist. Your life is worth living, and if you feel it isn't, you have to make it remarkable. You hold the key to a new and better tomorrow, use it.

I am writing this for someone. I hope the wiles of life doesn't overwhelm you. Look at how FAR you've come, KEEP MOVING F O R W A R D.
