Gratitude

Try waking up in the morning and being thankful that you are breathing. Thankful to have a bed to sleep on. Thankful for running water and thankful to have that hot shower. People tend to be obsessed with what they don't have. People are always comparing themselves to other people. Don't get me wrong, it's hard not to, especially when times are rough. When times are rough just think; it could be worse. There could be a lion chasing after you, and if there is a lion chasing you, you're shit out of luck.

Permission

Recently, I came across an old diary and it said I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. As time passes and life happens we often forget to do what we love. Here is the truth: don't ask just do. Do what you love. If you like swimming go dive in. If you love to dance close your eyes and let your body feel the music. If you like taking photos start clicking already. If you like to read join a library. If you like just chilling at home watching movies get a Netflicks account. Do whatever it is that makes you happy. Again, stop asking permission to feel good. Feed your soul. A tree dies without water. A person drowns without spirit.
