Be brave with your own life

An important part of healing one's self, is the ability to stop allowing biased opinions to sway you on your journey. We've been taught that we should get others to weigh in on decisions that aren't their concern to begin with. If they care about you, their advise may be sincere, if they fake care about you, their advise will most likely come from a place of jealousy or envy.

There is no one on this planet that cares about you more than you should care about yourself. (Full Stop). 

We want to believe that love comes from others, when in actuality, love can only come from yourself to yourself. People come and go from your life, but you are the constant presence in the mirror. If you cannot be brave enough to love yourself, you will always feel alone/lonely when people remove themselves from your existence.

The bravery it takes to find one's soul, love one's soul, and trust one's soul can only be found when you stop criticizing and giving yourself negative feedback. 

As Ryan Gosling said in The Notebook, "what do you want?"  Always start from that place; answer it truthfully, and then be brave enough with your own life. <3
