Your happiness matters. It's not selfish or self-centered to prioritize the things you need to thrive.

Your life matters. Your story is needed.

Be the person you always needed

Give yourself grace. Allow yourself hope. Speak to yourself kindly. 🫶

Keep being kind. This world needs it.

It's not too late. To ask for help, to dream, or to make change. It's never too late.

Don't just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you feel healed. Do what makes you feel more connected to yourself.

It's not a flaw to feel deeply. You are not broken.

Shout out to those who survived this year. We know it wasn’t always easy.

To those feeling overwhelmed by the negative voices:
You are proof that there is goodness in the world. Your love, kindness, and desire to help are things to celebrate.

It's okay to lean into the things that make you feel lighter, even if they feel silly. You deserve joy and and peace, too.

You are what you love. You are what you hope for. You are what you build. You are not defined by your darkest days.

Shout out to those who feel alone right now:
You are loved and needed regardless of what this year looks like for you. You deserve community, and it’s okay if it takes time to find it.

You might not be able to stop yourself from thinking of the worst case scenario. But try dreaming about the best case scenario, too. You can hold hope and fear together.

It’s okay if you need a break. It’s okay if you need to laugh, or cry, or vent for hours. It’s okay to need things.
