Let 2018 be the year you stop throwing yourself a pity party and start believing in your own heart.

In 2018, let yourself fall.
Let 2018 be the year you stop being so afraid of love.

And let it be the year you put your heart first.
I know youve been so afraid of being hurt.
I know youve been scared to put your heart on blast.

I know youve started to think about giving up.
And youve been hurt one too many times.
I know youre tired of trying.

Youre tired of being led on and left again and again.
I know you feel like you shouldnt even have hope anymore.
You see the tunnel, and all you see is darkness.
Youre losing sight of any light that survives in the distance.
Its been difficult lately.
Difficult to believe that there is someone out there for you.
Maybe you miss someone from the past.
Maybe you miss your first love.
Maybe you miss someone who you werent even involved with.
Or maybe you just miss the feeling of love.
Maybe you miss being held on cold nights.
And perhaps you miss feeling safe in someones arms.
Its time to make a change.
Its time to lift your own spirit.
Its time to look at yourself in the mirror and smile.
Its time to realize that you are special.
That you are worth true and big love.
Its time to recognize your strengths and the beautiful things about you.
Dont let your past get in the way.
Dont let people from before, dictate your happiness for the now.
Let yourself jump and fall.
Let yourself meet new people and fall in love with someone simply from the way they look at you.
Touch their hand and let it send you sparks into your veins.
Let yourself be enchanted by someones smile.
Let yourself become enamored by someones heart.
Fall madly and deeply and love and dont apologize for it.
Let this love fill up all your broken parts and opened wounds.
Fall in love over and over again and dont ever lose hope.
If you get hurt, dont you dare give up again.
Dont you dare bow your head.
Dont you dare tell yourself that its your fault.
Let 2018 be the year you set your sights for greatness.
And youll meet the person you were meant to be with.
All because you never gave up.
All because you never lost sight of what you wanted.
Let yourself fall in love.
Let yourself breathe the love and the adoration inside of your heart.
And dont ever stop looking.
Because without love, what do we have?
And without hope, do we have anything at all?
