Hey...

I just wanted to stop by and remind you:

Sometimes, those days happen.

Those days were the negative thoughts come, you feel stuck, you just don't want to continue anymore.

Sometimes, these emotions control your mind, and makes you feel like God made a hiccup in your creation.

Those days where you just plain DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Please, remember, it's OK to not be OK.

For the days you feel worthless and unneeded. Where you feel everyone's life would be better off if you never existed,

It's OK to not be OK.

For the days your chest burns because you feel inadequate. For the days you feel nothing but failure and given up hope,

It's OK to not be OK.

Read this when you feel those things. Where everyone in life is moving forward and you feel you are too stupid on where to take the first step forward.

You are strong. You are admirable.

Modest.

Loving.

Giving.

Beautiful.

When you feel like you had hit rock bottom...

Where you feel like you have no one with you...

You are not alone.

It's OK to CRY, it's OK to be STRESSED, it's OK to FAIL, it's OK to make MISTAKES.

It's OK to not be OK.

Thus far, you have overcame so much.

Please keep going.

When ever the thoughts start, whenever you can't anymore and people doubt who you are and your intelligence,

Please, don't stop.

Your fire in your heart is bigger than you think. Your mind can conquer mountains,

and the world is not ready for you, trailblazer.

You may be bent, but you ARE NOT BROKEN.

More mountains are coming that you are going to have to face; more rivers will flood your journey.

But:

IT'S OK.

No matter how off your world maybe, you are doing amazing.

You are doing amazing being you.

Keep holding on, no matter what.

No matter what...

It's OK to not be OK.

Until next time,

--You

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
