Life will always be hard.
But I can’t spend another minute feeling sorry for myself.
It doesn’t do me any good and it doesn’t do anyone else any good.
Annie Gray
So, live your life.
Embrace your imperfections and your mistakes.
Learn from the times of heartache and rejection.
And Im learning how to take accountability for my actions.
I never will be.
Just like anyone else, I will fuck up.

I will do something stupid.
I will fail at things probably much sooner than later.
I will trip and fall and fall some more.
I will lose people along the way.
I will break hearts.
I will break my own.
But Im learning to how to forgive myself for that.
Id be wasting time if all I ever did was cry over already spilled milk.
Id be wasting precious seconds and minutes and days of this life.
And this life is far too precious and short to spend it sulking.
I am slowly learning to be human.
I am slowly learning what it actually means to be human.
Being human is not a fairytale.
Being human is not always seeing the glass half full.
No, its work.
Its sometimes miserable and dark and foggy.
But I cant spend another minute feeling sorry for myself.
It doesnt do me any good and it doesnt do anyone else any good.
So, live your life.
Embrace your imperfections and your mistakes.
Learn from the times of heartache and rejection.
Learn from the darkness, instead of sitting in it.
And then get up and start again.
Im slowly learning how to be okay with not being okay.
Im slowly learning how to be okay with making mistakes in my personal life and in my professional career.
Im slowly learning how to be okay with people not liking me.
Im slowly learning how to be okay with every single struggle I go and live and survive through.
Im slowly learning how to be okay with feeling weak and small and insignificant.
But I wont let that have power over me.
That isnt going to make or break my life.
So Im slowly but surely learning how to get off my high horse and admit that Im just human.
Im slowly learning as time moves on, that I cant waste it.
I cant waste this second on this earth.
So why would I spend it crying over something that has already been said or done?
Why would I spend it thinking that Im unlovable or that Im ugly or that I suck.
Dont feel sorry for yourself.
Dont let those negative thoughts affect you.
Just brush yourself off and get up again.
And keep thriving and starting over, again and again.
