This video is a reminder for myself during moments where I tend to forget what is important. If you happen to discover this video, hopefully, you will find these words strung up together to be the words you need.
First things first, you’re not perfect
That’s okay
You’re at where you need to be
You’re still learning
You’re still growing
Growing into the person you needed when you were younger
As you experience more, that person changes
That’s okay
Everything is in constant change
Change is going to happen
Get used to it
In the past, you have accepted all that is
You accepted yourself
All of your flaws
All of your failures
All of the people in your life
All of the people out of your life
Hopefully, that acceptance hasn’t changed
If it has, that’s okay
You’re still learning
You’re still growing
You will learn again
One thing I hope you have learned by now is to love yourself
If you haven’t made that commitment yet, that’s okay
You once learned how to surrender yourself to others
You will learn how to fully commit yourself to yourself for yourself
You’re still learning
You’re still growing
You will learn
It has been a long process
There’s been a lot of loss
There’s been a lot of pain
If you find yourself about to break, let yourself break
Feel everything you need to feel
Understand and accept the things you can and cannot control
And if you find yourself broken, know this
There is beauty in being broken
There will be occasions where you don’t feel good enough
That’s okay
You naturally try your best even when you aren’t at your best
Through the mistakes
Through the obstacles
You give it your all
And that’s all you can do
That makes you more than good enough
Bro why am I making it seem like your life has been terrible
It hasn’t
You have so many blessings
Count them
You have such a great support system
Appreciate them
Show them that you care
Love them the way they want to be loved
Enjoy every moment you have with them
Because you’re alive now
And I can’t stress enough about being alive now
What a privilege it is to live life
Sometimes, things end earlier than we’re prepared for
And you’re never going to be fully prepared
And it’s never going to be the right time
But that means every moment is the right moment
So be present and live in the moment
Last but not least, you’re not perfect
That’s okay
You were never meant to be
So embrace who you are
You’ve learned a lot
You’ve grown a lot
But your journey isn’t finished
In a world where we rush through life,
Be patient and take your time
You’re still learning
You’re still growing
