I hope this
isn’t too weird, but I have some thoughts buzzing around in the inside of my
brain, and I really want to release them in blog form. But truthfully, I am
speaking to each of you, because so many of you are my closest friends and I
want you to know my thoughts.
I believe in
you.
I really do.
I want to tell
you that you’re special. Not special in a cliche, cheesy way, but special in
that you matter to me way.
Don’t you give
up… just don’t. Don’t stop trying. Don’t doubt that you were meant to do this.
You have a magic that no one else has. You are here for a purpose—and we’re all
waiting for you to reach that “unattainable” goal. It doesn’t matter how many
people don't believe in you… even if they are the ones who should be supporting you. It
doesn’t matter if you’re standing alone, watching everyone else attain what
you’re so desperately fighting for.
Don’t let
doubt rule you. Look how far you’ve come already. Yes, you could’ve settled for
other avenues, but you haven’t. Keep your focus ahead. Trust in that spark that
set you on the path in the first place.
Look back to
the moment when you knew you were meant for this. That moment when time
seemed to stop, and you became aware that you were finally living—like you were
suddenly conscious of every little detail around you. In that moment you KNEW…
you knew that you were meant for great things. And that you were capable of
them.
So push.
Don’t let fear
paralyze you.
It’s EASY to
walk away. It’s EASY to not do it. It’s EASY to let past hurt and heartache
stop you from doing what you want.
It’s such a
personal journey. Learning to overcome the demons inside of you. Pushing them
away just so you can get to the place where you can even begin to work. Believe
in that feeling—that little voice inside your head that can only be heard when
you silence all the other ones. You were meant to do this.
And sometimes
it feels as if you've already achieved your dream. That your head is floating somewhere
over your left shoulder and you're watching yourself try to attain your goals,
but you're already standing on the green grass. You know that you’ll get there.
Now it’s just doing it.
I hope you
feel that you matter. That you’re important to me. And to seize onto those
moments when truth seeps through and everything freezes, as if you’re the only
person alive. But when the world starts spinning again, and you wonder if
you’ll ever have another moment of clarity again, remember that that moment happened.
And that doubt didn’t exist.
And even
though there’s nothing you can do to get that moment back—know that there are
better moments waiting for you. So don’t you dare give up.
I’m rooting for
you.
I really am.
Red. Head. Out. :)
