“Give yourself flowers. Take yourself out for lunch. Enjoy your own company. A date is a date, regardless of who it’s with.”

“When your mind begins to fall off track, handle it delicately. Be careful when it begins to think irrational thoughts, for it is then when we become the most vulnerable to our greatest fears.”

This is it. This life, this moment, this messy, unfinished version of you. Stop waiting for a 'better time' or a 'better you' to start living. Eat the cake, call your mom, take the risk, and say what’s been sitting heavy on your chest. Stop scrolling through the life you wish you had and step into the one you’ve got. It’s flawed, it’s chaotic, but it’s yours. And it’s the only one you’re gonna get. -Dr. Nicole Addison
“Be happy simply because you are alive. You are breathing. You are experiencing this wonderful journey of life.”

You decide what adds meaning to your life. You and only you. Find what those things are, and completely surround yourself with them. Treasure them. Fill your life with so much meaning that you can’t wait to get up each and every day. -Dr. Nicole Addison
Do what makes you happy. Take care of yourself. Be carefree. We’re not going to live forever, and when you really think about it, it’s really not that long in the grand scheme of things. So live gracefully. Stop chasing towards material things and being someone that you’re not. Life is far too short to be anyone but yourself and to be doing anything that you’re not completely in love with. -Dr. Nicole Addison
You're someone who knows that life is fragile and fleeting.
You feel the weight of existence—and sometimes, that awareness has nowhere to go. It sits in your chest like pressure without a label.
You're not broken for that. You're just deeply awake. And the world doesn't give many safe outlets for people who feel that deeply.

“Take criticism lightly. It means nothing against your character, but are merely opportunities for growth and development. There is always room for improvement, for no one is a complete expert in every task.”

“A bird does not learn how to fly without taking that initial leap of faith. You must trust your wings. Have faith in the path of your journey.”
