Love as many people as you can. Your friends need you. Your family needs you. A smile to a stranger you passed on the street could’ve made whatever it was that may have been a distress in their lives, a little better. Never give up on love. Give love everywhere. Pour your heart out on what you believe to be true, just, and right. You will know wholeheartedly what those things are.
Take comfort. Even if it seems like it, don’t believe that everything is falling apart. God, you’re friends, your family, the familiar people in the bakery, the store, your pet dog, the elderly people who sit down in the café every Thursday evening… they will always be there for you. Whether you choose to talk to them or not, or if you’ve never even talked to them before. They will always be there. And remember, it’s okay to cry.
Appreciate the things that matter to you, however big or small. The nice alternative drive home, the warm sips from a white mocha frapp, or the friend who is always there to hear you vent about anything. Whichever it is, hold onto that.
Wait. Just wait. Wait. When you’re young, you want everything. And that’s okay. Do desire. Do love. Let your heart run or walk. Dream. Just know that everything in your life is sovereign. Patience is not easy. But good things happen. Just wait.
