Live.

Dear Self,

Sometimes your journey will encompass sunshine, sometimes it may be thunder storms. But you must not loose yourself, you must live regardless of the weather. Do you hear me?

In a world filled with lots of distractions, myopic mentalities and standards.Walking around with a completely lost sense of self is inevitable. We are constantly in a battle to get 'there' that we forget to be present in our 'here'. We give up the act of gratitude because we are oblivious to the beauty in imperfections. We focus on mistakes and ignore lessons, we complain and in the midst of all these we forget to actually live.

To live is to be present, to connect with the magic that is in the now, to develop an attitude of gratitude which stays unshaken even in gloomy times,to understand that you are where you should be at this moment, to love yourself fiercely, to believe you are enough, to take a shot at the things you have a passion for, to bloom regardless of where you are planted,to appreciate the simple gifts in life, to allow yourself to express both joy and pain , to forgive yourself but also hold yourself accountable and most of all to enjoy the experience and joy of being alive.

It is a deliberate decision to vibrate on a higher frequency.

Indulge.
