Other peoples opinions of you.
Not everyone is going to like you and thats okay.

The idea that to be successful, you must do everything alone.
Those who are at the top of their field do not do everything alone.
So does Ariana Grande.
So does Reese Witherspoon.
The list goes on.
There is no timeline for love.
There is no timeline for career success.
Does this mean that you shouldnt have a schedule?
No, of course not.
But dont get so caught up in timelines that you forget to live.
Forget about checking things off a list and start paying attention to whats on the list.
Let yourself make a squiggle of a journeyits so much prettier than a straight line, anyway.
The idea that you must know everything.
Admitting to a lack of knowledge is one of the most significant trademarks of the wise.
Nobody knows everything, and there is always something to be learned.
Your fear of the dark.
It cannot be sunny all day longnight has to come at one point.
Sometimes, the darkness will creep in and your shadows will dance before you.
Look at how your shadow moves.
The need to say yes to every social event that youre invited to.
You dont have to go to that birthday party.
Its okay to say no sometimes.
It has to be.
People who make you feel bad about yourself.
You dont have to have lunch with every coworker.
Its okay to let go of the friendships that youve outgrown.
Sometimes even the best of friends outgrow one another, and theres no blame or shame in that.
Its part of life.
Its not a death sentence.
Hatred will never serve you in the long run.
Let yourself get angry.
Holding onto hate ensures that shadows always stay, and darkness never leaves.
And you deserve to dance in the light.
