There are some days when you have the things you should be excited about but not the things you feel you need.
Some days when you feel there’s no reason to be sad or worried because the things you’ve wanted for so long are already here — It’s not like you don’t want or need them anymore.
The priorities have already changed and you need something else.
The truth is sometimes we feel like we are not allowed to feel our feelings because other people have it worse or because we cannot identify a proper reason to. I’m in the position now, and boy, it hurts.
I want to let you know this though, Every single win you’ve made so far, Every single effort, and all the energy and time you have invested are valid and worth it.
You may not be exactly where you want to be; The road may seem a bit blur and it’s confusing because you feel like you want so many things, but there just isn’t enough YOU or resources to achieve them (I’m not sure you understand this but continue reading)
Everyone is still figuring life out, everyone is still trying to find what works for them. Slow growth is still growth. Your pace does not determine your destination. Your mindset does.
Don’t compare your real life to anyone’s social media or best moments. You have no clue how hard it may be in their shoes. So focus on yourself and never lose focus.
And although we’re already a few days into this week, I want to remind you that I celebrate with you. I celebrate you for every single effort you put in and how far you have come. The competition is between who you were a few years ago, last year, last month, and who you are now.
I celebrate you for ignoring the negatives and focusing on the positives, I celebrate you for chasing the dreams no one thought was possible. I celebrate you for existing in a world where people are desperate to die.
And I hope one day, You celebrate yourself too because you deserve all the love and recognition in the world.
With love, From Oyindasola❤️
