Dear self,
This fear and negativity you're feeling are only temporary. Your new year resolution starts now and it's simply rolling out of bed, looking in the mirror, and giving yourself a positive compliment. Life is way too short to sit around and complain. It's time to set your phone aside and focus on what truly matters-- family, friends, and don't forget… yourself. Walk out that door and breathe in the fresh air, listen to the birds and cars, and take in all the little details.
2018 has drained your energy but someone once said, "rest, but don't quit." Didn't anyone tell you it only gets harder from here, but YOU my dear, get stronger-- physically and mentally. Remember you are human and it's normal to feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, unhappy, and afraid. What is not okay is being lazy and making up excuses as to why you didn't go to class, finish that assignment, work out, eat healthily... the list goes on. Find your balance. Therefore, set goals, ask questions (there is no such thing as a dumb question), and surround yourself with the people you love.
2019 is the year to give, grow, and go on a crazy adventure.
In the blink of an eye, your college days will be over and by then, I don't want you to live with any regrets. There's only one life, now go live it!
Love,
Ash
