Be the Difference in an Indifferent World

There will always be doubters and people trying to put you down so they can feel higher, but you got to stay true to yourself.

No one told you life would be easy, but they never really explained that it would be this hard. Growing up, you have been told as you get older that you will face many hardships, so you should enjoy your youth now. But, that isn't always the case. Anyone can be facing a hardship no matter the age. It hits you out of left field, It knocks you off your feet, Makes you question sometimes if you have the strength to get up.

You have one life, and it is yours and yours alone. That makes you start to question, "What direction do I move in?" "What kind of outcome do I want in this life?" It makes you wonder if you're making the right decisions. Sometimes it shakes up your confidence. That maybe you want to be getting yourself out of a hardship or wanting better for the future. You have to picture yourself someday getting to a better place. Wanting it that bad that you refuse to fall. Letting yourself know that you wont give up. That you will take control of the situation and feelings you have, for you have control of your own mental space. You could allow yourself to give up and sink deeper, or you can tell yourself that you refuse, and that you're an awesome person that will keep fighting until the end.

If you want that dream job, work hard for it. Don't let anyone define your limits. Have someone you like? Get close to them, you may be surprised of the outcome. For you have this one life to figure out everything you want. Don't live with what if's and self doubt. Want to move away and start over? Save up slowly, and take that leap of faith. Have a toxic family? There is no reason for you to stay, family isn't just defined by blood; you may be surprised of the loyal, kind people you will meet. You have to believe in yourself. Knowing this is what you want and not settle for less. Maybe you might be losing someone close to you, and it seems like, what now? Create those memories, cherish the moments, let yourself cry, and know that you also have the love and support of that person and they want to see you happy and succeeding.

Sure none of this is easy, in fact it's super fricken hard. For I have overcome so many hardships myself. Between losing family members, being diagnosed with something kind of rare, having people tell me I wasn't good or smart enough to follow my dreams. I found a way to keep getting up, no matter what, for I believe for in a better tomorrow. Sure I fell a lot, and a lot of times I struggled to get up now and then, but I never allowed anybody to keep making me feel as if I was a nobody. It is possible for anyone to follow their dreams. Your moment starts right now. Face your fears and doubts, and break them before they have a chance to knock you down. I know it is possible. What seems like an impossible dream to become a better version of yourself, it is in fact very possible. Just know you always have worth, and can do great things. Shine though the dark times, and show the world what you are made of.
