1. Stop beating yourself up for everything that goes wrong. Yes, your hands are bloodied by the love you murdered, but do not forget what made you pull the trigger. Now detangle yourself from the mess you made, it’s not your fault it turned out this way.

2. Let go of all the bitter anger you have bottled up inside of you. There’s no use in dwelling on those who have done you wrong.

3. Your health and happiness must always comes first. How many nights have you stayed up trying to complete endless piles of work? How many times have you ripped yourself apart to fix someone else? Take care of yourself darling, no one else will.

4. Not everyone will like you, and that’s okay. Keep those who do, close to you, but do not fault those who do not. Surround yourself with people who genuinely love you, and whom you love back equally, if not more.

5. Make peace with your past. Time can’t heal everything, but you will be okay. Forgive yourself, it’s time to heal. You’ve fought for a long time, and you should be proud of yourself.

6. Be your own soulmate. I know there are people in love all around you, and i know some days you wish you’d have someone to hold, but know that even your own shadow leaves you in the darkness and only you can love yourself.

7. Stop looking for love. If there really is someone out there for you, love will come your way when the time is right.

8. Don’t bother explaining yourself to anyone. Those who believe in you won’t question you, and those who question you probably think you’re going to fail anyways.

9. Cut out the toxic and negativity in your life. It will hurt, but you will feel infinitely better. You are allowed to outgrow people.

10. Spend time with your family. One day you will look back and these times will be one of your best memories.

11. Be comfortable in your own skin. Do not try to change yourself. Be true, be real, be unapologetic and be unafraid. Be nothing but authentic.

12. Do everything in love, and with love.
