At the end of the day

When I was 10, I was carefree and I let my imagination flow, I didn't let anyone influence my thoughts. I didn't have any problems.
When I was 15, I cared so much about what others thought of me- how i dressed, how i looked, how i acted; I changed every aspect of myself to match society's norms, and to be "cool."
When I was 18, I hated my parents, I thought that they were horrible because they didn't give me freedom.
19 years of being alive and i've come to realize that despite the judgements, and things that people say, things that people tell you to believe, things that people say you can't achieve, things that people say to put you down
at the end of the day, those people don't matter, only you do.
at the end of the day, forgive and forget.
at the end of the day, loving yourself is the most important.
at the end of the day, you're still alive!

Throughout the 19 years of my life so far, I've learned so so so much. I am so fucking grateful to be living the life I am. I am soooo fucking blessed and am disappointed that I didn't realize that earlier. But it's okay because you live and you learn and that is just the cycle of life. The purpose of this message is to take note that every day is so so precious and honestly at the end of the day, you're still alive and if that's not the thing you consider most important then i pray for you, i really do.

For the future me, I hope you continue to look at the world with the eyes of a child so you can see the beauty and positivity in everything.

Just a note to self.
