YOU.

You. Yes, you. I am writing this for you.

I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it’s not. I am writing this for you.

I want you to know, life…it’s hard. Every day can be a challenge. It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps me going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.

You should be happy. You are gorgeous.

I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose. But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun’s warm rays on your face. Or that cold February wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means?

You are alive.

Everything will be okay.

**Reblogged from over here. And I echo every word. Sometimes we get so down on ourselves, we don't have this, we don't have that, this boy isn't paying attention to me, I'm bored, I don't like my appearance, I'm not loved, etc etc etc. Well guess what?
1. You are alive.
2. You are loved.
3. You have the ability to dream and discover.
4. You ARE gorgeous. and
5. You matter.
Really, its all true. So put a smile on your face, and laugh.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

P.S. On this day, I am thankful for RAIN.
