I hope you learn to stop saying yes to appease people and simply do what YOU want.

Learning that putting yourself first isn’t selfish.

The one you cant seem to let go of or forgive yourself for, even though everyone else has.

Just because you havent gotten there yet doesnt mean you wont.

I hope you stop putting so much pressure on yourself to achieve things.

Its okay to slow down a bit.

Its okay to reevaluate where youre at and if something needs to change.

Its okay to make some big change even if youre afraid of what that is.

I hope you learn to let go of that love thats been haunting you.

The one that keeps you up at night.

The one that makes you look at your phone in the morning hoping you hear anything at all.

I hope you stop associating love with pain.

Because that isnt love youre feeling.

Its someone elses lack of love and you clinging to a past that is no longer the present.

I hope you learn to let new love into your life.

Because you deserve it.

You deserve a love that heals you.

You deserve a love that meets you half way.

I hope you learn to stop being so afraid.

You dont need some New Years Resolution.

Whether its losing weight or eating healthier.

Or traveling somewhere new or drinking less.

What needs to change is thinking those things will bring you closer to being happy.

I hope you really learn to love yourself.

I hope you truly believe you deserve the best that life has to offer you.

In a career and every relationship.

You deserve the best if you first start with believing it.

I hope you really learn to listen to yourself.

We tend to know whats best but choose the opposite.

I hope that person you care about doesnt keep you waiting by the phone.

Or waiting for that date.

I hope you learn to walk away from people who arent sure they want you in their life.

Because you deserve certainty and someone confident.

Someone who makes you feel like they are the one who is lucky to have found you.

Someone who never stops reminding you of that.

I hope you learn to stop saying yes to appease people and simply do what YOU want.

Learning that putting yourself first isnt selfish.

I hope you realize theres a difference between being busy and living.

Realize while its unlikely something drastic could change in your life tomorrow.

If the answer is no, realize what needs to be altered in your life.

I hope you stop living according to someone elses agenda.

I hope you find the courage to leave.

Leave that relationship thats draining you.

Leave that job you dont look forward to going to.

Leave that town that youve outgrown.

And its okay if you dont know whats going to make you happy.

But being able to identify what doesnt and leaving that behind is essential.

I hope the best part of your day isnt sitting alone in an apartment binge-watching your favorite show.

I hope you stop being so afraid and letting fears dictate and control you.

Learning to let go of those things that arent pushing you forward.

Learning to let go of the people and things that are your comfort zone.

Learning that your voice matters and you should have started listening to it a while ago.

I hope in the next two months you find what you are looking for.

Whatever that is and I hope you stop letting an excuse get in the way of finding it.
