Having a bad day?

[JustDanielle]

Look at that, your reflection. It looks so... sad. Is that even really you, can that be so? I wonder what happened, to make you feel this way. It must have hurt; it must have cut very deep; I mean, it’s been all this time and we can still see the scars and sorrow, it must have been horrible.



They frighten it, don’t they? These people, they frighten your reflection. You know it as well as I do, they’re anonymous, and so they are smiling, and they are judging you for not doing the same.

You’re not happy, and so you’re a broken person, you’re just not complete, like they are. You don’t smile as much, you don’t think the same, and you don’t make the same choices, as they do. You must be broken.



Stop.

Breathe.

I mean it, breathe. Do that 10 times. Just fucking do it. It doesn’t matter what you think while you do it, it doesn’t matter how you feel when you’re done. Breathe. Do it, now.

Ok, listen while I tell you a secret to life. And this isn’t a secret because no one is allowed to know it, it’s a secret because no one cares about it, it’s too simple to be right. Here goes: Your LIFE, is Your life not theirs.



Stop for a minute. All of this that has been bothering you, for longer than you can remember, is easy. Your life, is easy, for you.

You are not less than the other guy or girl you are, in fact, more. All of those people, who you think are better than you, are not. You need to believe. All you need is to decide that you are going to become the person you want to be.

The next time something scares you, and you know you should do it but you are afraid of it and want to back out. You are going to be terrified. But you will do what you didn’t think you could. You will be judged for your actions, not your fears. You will repeat this action over, and over again when it’s needed, and your mind will get used to it. You will never be afraid of them again.

You are leaving the dark place you were in.

Eventually, you will look around you and you will see everyone else who you thought was better. You will realize you are the same as them. Realize. Realize who you are.

You are capable. You are intelligent. You are beautiful, creative and brave. It will take a long time but with every step you'll realize and believe.
