Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the extreme spectrum of a roller coaster I've experienced throughout my life. I've had my years where I was on the bathroom floor sobbing and screaming, convinced that I wasn’t going to make it past that night. Occasionally, life was quite quiet and calm, but sometimes that wasn't exactly peace. For the past months, I've been feeling pretty calm, good. But I know that I can wake up tomorrow feeling completely different. Tired and worn down. And with this, I’m working on loving every phase of myself. Living in the moment, accepting who I am now, rather than wishing I could be anything or anyone else. I think this is something very few of us have mastered the art of. It’s hard to love each phase of you when you haven’t yet taken the time to learn and discover things about yourself. Many of us just keep looking and striving for more to improve ourselves and our being but with this we don’t truly get to accept and love who and where we are. There’s this normality behind wanting more and changing, I get this. We, as humans, are not meant to stay stagnant forever. For we are ever-changing. While it’s perfectly acceptable to want to keep progressing yourself and your mind, we need to appreciate who we are and where we’re at. If not, we’ll never be satisfied with ourselves. You are exactly where you’re meant to be. And you’re who you’re meant to be, at least at this given point in your life. You aren’t behind, you don’t need to catch up to anyone. It’s your life, do as you please. Live it up for you, not for anyone else. Don’t consistently focus on how to be better or different to fit into any social conformity or standard that someone has set for you. You are meant to be here and you deserve to do things for yourself. Love every phase of where you are. Appreciate your mind, your body, your soul. And most importantly, LOVE WHO YOU ARE IN EVERY PHASE. Because I promise you, you are doing just fine. Stop dismissing who and where you are for your future self. It’s a cyclical cycle of suffering. Your future and what it will look like isn’t guaranteed. The person you are now and the phase you’re currently in is perfect. You are wonderful. Be there for yourself.
