i need you to understand that you have a direct influence on this world. that the more happiness you put out, the more you will get back. that a sense of humor is what winds your heart and a young mind is what moves your feet. i need you to see the talent you have been given and what a tragedy it would be if you didnt entertain that to its fullest extent.
but most of all i need you to believe. god, all i want is for you to believe that you are worth it.
every smile.
every hug.
every thank you.
fuck if thats not the only real shit left in this goddamn world.
this moment is not as bad as you think it is. its not. i say this as a fact.
because you owe me.
fuck it, you owe every goddamn person reading these words.
you owe US to be a better person. to smile more. to breathe in deep, smile, count to three then slowly breathe out at least once a day.
