Life is too short...

It’s strange when you sit and accept that life is just a bunch of days strung together. Created and maintained by memories, and little things that turn into the big moments, that you have the power to create. That is the thing about life, it’s a gift, and is so fragile, precious and unpredictable.

I’m 26 now, and I love my life, I owe that to my loved ones who carry me through the year. I’ve noticed a lot in society today, people worry way too much about the small meaningless stresses in life; remember that we all have the same fate after all. So, do what you can to make your time feel worthy and great, minus the shit. Just think those times you are whining about ridiculous things, just think about someone who is really facing a problem. Be grateful for your minor issue and build a bridge, get over it. It is okay to acknowledge that something has pissed you off or is annoying but try not to carry on about it and let it negatively affect your day and other’s around you.

Once you do that get out and take a big breath of fresh air deep in your lungs. Look at how blue the sky is, how green the grass is, it’s so beautiful. Think how lucky you are just to be able to do that – breathe. You might have got caught in traffic or had bad night’s sleep because your beautiful babies kept you awake, or your hairdresser gave you a bad cut. Let all that shit go. All that shit is so insignificant when you look at life as a whole. Appreciate what you have and will for what you want. Appreciate your good health, and good functioning body, even if it’s not ideal for you. Look after it and embrace how amazing it is – don’t obsess over it. In all honesty there are more aspects about your health other than having a physically good body. Just you, work hard on finding your own sense of peace, tranquility and happiness and you’ll be good.

This way you may just realize how insignificant and unimportant the materialistic and perfectly portrayed social media body really is. Let no one tell you you’re shit or give you a sense of low self-esteem – Fuck them. Be ruthless for your own well-being. Be grateful for each day you don’t feel pain and in your eyes is a perfect day. As those days where you are unwell, you may have a cold, man-flu, or a sore back. Be thankful it is not life-threatening, and those pains will go away. Whinge less and help each other more. Try just, enjoying life and being present in the moment rather than capturing it so everyone else can see it. Work to live, don’t live to work. Eat that chocolate cake with zero guilt, who gives a fuck if someone looks at your weird. Tell your loved ones you love them every time you get the chance. I do this every day. Remember if something is making you miserable, you have the power to change it. Have the courage to change, don’t try and conform to fit in, be yourself.

(Annnnnnd breath) Anyhoo, off the deep shit, that’s just one young woman’s life advice, take it or leave it – it’s okay. It’s took me a while to adjust to this outlook, but after deep talks with my mom, I realize, I am here for a purpose, don’t know what yet. But I really appreciate my life, as it’s a miracle that I am here. So really look at what you have. It’s sacred really. <3
