You are an individual – on this journey called life you will fall and you will rise up again and again, you’ll make mistakes, so apologise for those and learn from them, by making mistakes you live, and hopefully, you learn. You’re human with all the great things and frailties that encompasses. You’re not perfect and neither is anyone else, so don’t expect them to be. You’ve been hurt and you’ve hurt others, whether intentional or not, apologise for that too, but remember that you’re alive. You need to remember what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to be able to breathe, to think, to have plans and dreams, to enjoy, and to chase the things you love. There will always be sadness in our journey, that is what makes us who we are, that hopefully teaches us compassion and understanding, but don’t forget that there is also lots of beauty and happiness and you don’t have to look very hard to find it. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt. For we will never know what is waiting for us just around the bend.
