DARE TO BE.

To hesitate is to die, but to question is to not only live but to live fully.

“Stop. Breathe. Smile.”

-Three words which I tell myself every now and then. When the pressure is just too much. When the stress level is taller than me. When I feel helpless. When self confidence is nowhere to be found. When everything seems to fail. When all I want to do is close my eyes. Whenever I’m about to burst. When I feel that I can’t take it anymore.

“Stop. Breathe. Smile.”

-I don’t only say it, I do it. Pause for a while and take time to look up. Reward yourself with a deep breath. And playact to be what you want to be, smile like you’re happy and before you know it, you truly are already.

When the people you love most don’t seem to care. When your friends only want to know what’s up and not how you’re doing. When organizations you’re a member of cease from being fun. When you’re desperately shouting yet unheard. When he won’t even look your way…

Remember, dear self: Stop. Breathe. Smile.
