My loves, I made it to 50 times hitting the upload button, each time cringing from the truths I revealed. I talked about the hardest things in my life- my father's death, my mommy issues, my broken relationship and my failure, my difficult relationship with my family, and everything I was afraid to- really all the meant to be things about my life that made me and that I needed to be the person I am today. Only this perfect combination could create the me that I am today. 

If I was uncomfortable about something, I made sure to leave it in. 

I lived my whole life worried about what "others" would think- and I saw where it got me. And didn't.

Most people never dare to stand alone in their truth. 

They'll spend their lifetime swerving around, beating around the bush, restless, living in some purgatory of their own making.... just waiting-

waiting to ask out the girl they really like
waiting to join that band
waiting to travel
waiting to pursue their dream
waiting to say what they need to say
waiting to feel, waiting to claim their love, waiting to show SOME emotion. 

You know you don't have tomorrow, right?

Like if you really think about it, you're banking on something that's not guaranteed- you DO understand that, Right?

Listen, I get it. 
I was there too. 

That's why I tell this story today

That's why I share my truth today

I think it's human nature to shy away from discomfort. Most of us shy away from the truth. We also shy away from emotion, from feeling, from hard work, from discomfort, from pain

Really the only thing you need to shy away from in this life is regret-

every moment you are alive you are either living fully or turning it into regret- ouch. You had the opportunity didn't you? You had breath. But You chose Less. 

Choose love. choose yourself. choose this moment. Because honestly, this moment and You, are all you have, and when you use both of them fully, you garner your Self, and when you garner your Self, you garner the world.
