Want a change? Be the change.
âAnd kid, youâve got to love yourself. Youâve got wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. Youâve got to sit next to the man at the train station whoâs reading your favorite book and start a conversation. Youâve got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then youâve got to wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. Youâve got to stop taking everything so goddam personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. Youâve got to compliment someones crooked brows at an art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. Youâve got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that wonât matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday. Youâve got to stop worrying about what youâre going to tell her when she finds out. Youâve got to stop over thinking why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. Youâve got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. Fuck it. Love yourself, kiddo. Youâve got to love yourself.â
