words of wisdom.

here are five things i learned in 2019 that i will forever carry with me. i know it's a month late, but that doesn't really matter to me.

1. to get better from something you first have to accept that it's a part of you.

2 if someone doesn't accept you for everything you are, then they don't deserve you.

3. hold your friends very, very, very close. please don't be afraid to tell them you love them- you might never get to say it again.

4. mental illness isn't a joke, but it's also not something to be afraid of. it doesn't make you any lesser. we are all only human.

5. love is the thing that lets us connect with others. it is okay if it hurts; if it doesn't, at times, then it isn't really love. be patient with who you love; it's always worth it in the end.
