I am not the person I was, and I am not yet the person I will become. I will never be the person I will become because I am always evolving. Your past with love, friends, heartbreak and pain evolves you. You learn; you love; you grow. The place where you are now is not the place where you thought you would be. It is the place where you need to be. The future is an open book and every day is a new chapter in the making. Once something has been read, it can be forgotten as you move along in the book, but it will forever be there. Even if you tear out the pages and set them on fire, they will still be there, even if only in ash.

You have to live life. You can't let anything stop you. Sometimes, you may fall, but pick yourself up and chalk it all up to a learning experience. Everything you think is a big deal now will not define you in the future, so do not stress, little one. Being miserable and not living your life is not going to help anyone, especially you. Every moment you have lived, leads to something, and that something is your life. So, do not waste it on miniscule things. Do not stress over every little detail. Do not feel alone because you will always have someone, even when that someone may be gone. You will find new people to be a part of your life. You are smart. You can change the world, or even a small part of it, if you just believe in yourself. No one limits you but you.

So, let go of the ties. Live your life how it is meant to be lived. For today. The future will always be there, but this moment you are in now, won’t be. Live to grow. Dance in the rain, drive fast (be safe) or pack a bag and just go. The worries and stress will always be there, but you won't always be here. Why live a life that makes you hate yourself, question yourself or make you miserable? Live a life you have always wanted to live, and then tomorrow, live again. The future is infinite so make love, make memories, make mistakes and learn from them. There is nothing worse in this world than to be stuck, so do not dig your heals in and let situations define you. You define the situations and know that you are OK. In fact, you are more than OK; you are awesome, and you always will be. Nothing will ever change that.
