This is just a list of things I constantly need to remind myself of:
It’s okay to make a mess.
It’s okay to be happy
It’s okay to be sad
It’s okay to sing and dance (no you aren’t being ‘too loud’ or ‘just trying to draw attention to yourself’ sometimes you just feel and want to express the joy of life!)
It’s okay to not understand everyone (and it is not possible for everyone to understand you!)
It’s okay to make a mistake (that is what life and learning is for)
There are no wrong decisions.. only paths taken or not taken
It’s okay to be human
It’s okay to feel angry sometimes
You are strong enough and smart enough to work that anger through
You don’t have to ‘do’ anything to earn love
It’s okay to have a heart wide open that want to help
It’s okay to kick back and watch a movie
It’s okay to leave those dishes to dry for a while
And most of all
It’s safe to be alive
You are not put on this planet to please anyone
But in the end the happiest use of your energy is to use it to bless both yourself and others.
