Hey you,

Sometimes it seems like the whole world is moving forward while you’re standing still. It’s hard to watch your friends start their careers when you still have no clue what you want to do with yours. It’s hard to see your friends get married and have children when you’re barely taking care of yourself. It’s hard not to worry about the future when it’s all anyone ever talks about. It’s easy to feel like everyone else is happy and you’re not. You're waiting for clues about the future, you're waiting to fall in live, you're waiting to be happy. I understand and I want you to know:

You are not alone.

Your friends and family love you more than you know. They’re willing to be there for you if you’ll let them. Prayer works too.

It’s okay to not have everything all figured out.

The future will take care of itself, you just take care of you. It’s normal. Once you stop worrying over it, everything will fall into place as it should be and when it should be.

Don’t let the good times pass you by.

Worrying doesn’t make tomorrow come any faster, so just take a step back and enjoy the time you have. You are as young now as you’re ever going to be; don’t let time pass you by. Enjoy the things you’ve been given.

Focus on what's right.

It’s so easy to focus on what’s wrong in life and let that crowd your vision. When you’re feeling down, count your blessings. There are so many beautiful things in life, and you are one of them.

Live in the moment.

You keep telling yourself when this happens or I get this, then you'll be happy. If you let your happiness be dependent on "if" situations, you'll be waiting forever. Enjoy what's good now and let yourself live.

Sincerely,

Me
