a longer gentle reminder

gentle-reminder:

It’s okay to not know who you are yet. It’s okay to not know what your dreams are. It’s okay if you want to leave a mark on the world but aren’t sure how to do that yet. It’s okay if you don’t have one all-consuming mission in life that every motivational video on the planet will tell you to have. It’s okay. Just wanting to know is okay. Being willing to know is okay. Start now, and you’ll be proud of yourself when you reach success because the first step is always the hardest, second only to not giving up. It’s okay to have negative voices. It’s okay because someday you will learn to ignore them. It’s okay to be sensitive and caring and easily hurt instead of big and strong. It’s okay. And above all, it’s okay to cry after reading this because you’ve had a bad day or you feel like you’re worthless or can’t do anything or that you should die. It’s okay because you are worth all the love and affection in the world, and no one can take that away from you.
