So, it has been a while since I
posted last and my friend keeps telling me that I need to post, so I decided to
listen to her. I started my second semester and it has been pretty great so
far! I do still have my newfound confidence but I have found that there is
still some fighting that needs to be done. I love my life and love how far past
everything I have gotten but there are still rare moment that my mind will take
a glimpse at my past mistakes in the last year and a half and drag my thoughts
away from the greatness that is in my life right now. These are very small
glimpses, so I go back to good thoughts pretty fast, but it’s still there. It
always will be, even if I never do anything like I used to do.
Aside from all of that, I wanted to
talk about encouragement, because I believe that it is a very important topic.
Now, I have always loved giving people nice notes and complimenting them. It
made me happy to know that I could brighten their day, even if they didn’t know
that it was I who had written the note. I still love to do this but I have been
distracted recently and haven’t given out a note in a while. The point is that everyone
can use encouragement. Even if someone’s day is going great, it is still nice
to hear that someone cares about you or that someone thinks that you look cute
today. I believe that the world has gotten so callous and it is hard to
compliment people without wanting something in return or saying it either because
you are jealous or in a snarky manner. So, I encourage you today, write a nice,
tell someone that you love them, buy a friend or stranger coffee, do something.
It can be hard to remember that other people are going through things when you
are going through your own stuff but sometimes do something nice for someone else
can even brighten up your own day. Whatever the reason, so something today for
someone else, because everyone you meet has their own story and things that
they are going though. Love life and love people! Remember that everyone is
perfectly imperfect!
