A new era, an old reminder.

It's my 25th, and I am entering my quarter quell with a message from me to you all about what I have learned in my early 20s. I know how it feels like to feel like you're not making progress. These past 4 years were full of changes for me yet I still felt like I was swimming against the current. What I realised was, external progress does not beget internal reward. It's the other way around. For example, If you believe you're not loveable, you will avoid places and situations where you might find love. Or if you believe that the reason you're not close with your friends is because they don't like you, you will avoid situations where you can spend time and get closer to your friends. It's easy to understand why one might pick up on a pattern and be so quick to blame themself, but more often than not it's your thoughts leading you down a path of self-prophecy. Remember to be more kind to yourself and good things will happen.
