I find comfort in the fact that the sun will always rise tomorrow, even when I don’t want it to.

My heart is in an extensive amount of pain. It just aches and aches and it does not stop or get better. There are no moments were my chest does not feel heavy. I’m not sure how something missing so many pieces can weigh so much but I’m having trouble carrying it around.

Advice to my sister and anyone who needs it
Sisterly advice to take with you, all the places you will go. The silence at the top of a mountain will teach you more than my words ever could, but I will try. I urge you to please notice when you are happy. Remember the moments when you’re gasping for air because you’re laughing so hard and try to re-create those as often as you can. Realize that love is a renewable source. You cannot give all of your love away so don’t be afraid to try. Never try to make yourself smaller or less of anything. You are never too much. Do not ever assume that someone knows that you love them. Tell them and tell them often. Life can get pretty frustrating without believing in a higher power, so try to find one you can have faith in. Do not hold your tongue because of the fear of rejection or judgement. Realize that your mind is incomprehensibly miraculous, so please share your thoughts with anyone who will listen. Whenever you have a positive thought about someone or a complement pops into your mind, make it a habit to always say it out loud. Question everything you are taught but not without finding the answers. Do not limit yourself to the education given to you. There are many ways to learn other than sitting behind a desk. Go find out how you learn best and thrive. Remember the word “temporary” because everything is. Do not dwell on pain or hold onto grudges. Realize deeply that all you ever have is right now. Fall in love with every single moment of your entire life. Cherish the beautiful moments you are blessed with because they will pass quickly. Forgive. Forgive people for what they have done and for what they have not. But, do not forget what people say when they are angry. Do not increase your volume but learn instead to better your argument. Do not laugh at jokes that are not funny and do not eat foods that you do not love. Never pretend to enjoy something that you don’t. Do not veer away from the opportunity to fall in love because of the possibility that you’ll have to stumble out of it. The pain is temporary but the joy is always worth the risk. Don’t take it lightly that you affect every life you interact with so be kind and be full of light. Falling in love may not be a choice but staying in love is. Choose them again each day. One day you’re going to look at someone while they’re doing something simple like brushing their teeth or tying their shoes and you will think, “My god I love you.” Never forget the simplicity and complexity of those moments. Find people you can talk to for hours but also comfortably sit in silence with. Do not underestimate your capabilities. Go wild, be brave, and do nothing other than exactly what you want. Explore and discover something new as often as you can. Connect to the earth and allow it to help you grow. Never settle. Ever. Always speak your mind and do not ever change your beliefs because it is not the popular opinion. Listen with your whole being when you are spoken to and reply with a purpose. If your words do not improve the silence do not speak them. You are allowed to put yourself first without feeling guilty about it. Even when it seems like you’ve made every possible mistake that you could, do not forget to love yourself. Every single choice that you have made has been the right one. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. You have taken every right path so far. I promise that one day all of the things that do not make sense right now will become so clear and full of purpose. Every moment of pain you have felt has been necessary so do not be angry about your misfortunes, simply accept the fact that they needed to happen. Make peace with your past so that it does not negatively affect your present. Connect with as many people as you can and be genuine. Everyone on this earth has something to teach you. Watch how they act, listen to how they speak to others. Be grateful and show people that you are. Do not underestimate the power of gratitude and kindness. If your heart aches for something please do it no matter what. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help and be even less afraid to offer it. Celebrate all of your little victories no matter how small. Surround yourself with people who consistently bring you up. Live in such a way that if you were to find out you only had a month to live, you wouldn’t change a thing. Sometimes you have to escape your mind in order to find it and that is okay. Remember that you do not need to find your other half because you are whole all on your own. You have to put yourself on a pedestal. It’s going to feel awkward and uncomfortable at first but eventually you’ll realize the pedestal wasn’t even high enough. Do not lose sight of what brings you joy. Never forget that your state of mind can entirely alter your life. Use all of your talents as often as you can. Do not compare your life to others. You are on your own journey. Don’t ever stay with someone who makes you makes you feel dumb for the way things make you feel. Your feelings are always valid. You are allowed to reinvent yourself as often as you need to. Let everything be what it is instead of what you think it should be. Embrace where life takes you and flourish. Above all, remember always that you are infinitely loved.

You should learn to be kind, before you preach it.
I certainly have room for improvement but do my best to show kindress to everyone. I’m sorry if I’ve caused you pain in the past.
