This is what they don't tell you, but I want you to know.

I want you to know it’s going to be OK

I want you to know you don’t have to have it all planned out,

I want you to know it won’t always go to plan & the only thing that’s constant is change.

I want you to know there’s nothing wrong with wanting something different

I want you to know you can choose to live in anyway and anywhere you like

I want you to know you don’t have to get married before you turn _____

I want you to know that you don’t have to get married. 

I want you to know that you don’t have to be with who society deems ‘right’ & that ‘right’ looks and feels different for everyone,

I want you to know you don’t have to have kids,  or buy the biggest house, the fanciest car or stay in that job you hate. 

I want you to know that you have the choice

I want you to know you are important, you matter & you do have something unique to contribute to this world 

I want you to know you that you can keep going, you can turn it all around.

I want you to know that every person comes into your life as a teacher & every lesson comes to you exactly when you need i

I want you to know it’s OK for things to get messy at times

I want you to know it’s normal to feel lost at times

I want you to know that feeling messy or lost doesn't last forever.

I want you to know that you have the strength

I want you to know you are worthy of love, you are worthy of receiving,

I want you to know you are deserving of kindness, you are deserving of happiness

I want you to know it is up to you, that you are creating your reality right now and always.

I want you to know you can choose different thoughts,  you can choose different patterns.

I want you to know your life can be different, your life can be incredible 

I want you to know some of your best days haven’t even happened yet,

I want you to know some of your best friends are still strangers you haven’t met & some of the most magical connections are out there as sparks just waiting for you.

I want you to know that it's all part of life's adventure & that that adventure is a gift. 

I want you to know you have the choice to unwrap that gift and the inner strength to live it filled with all that you love, or you allow other people to dictate the contents, put it in a perfectly shaped box and spend your days secretly wishing you could exchange it for what you actually want.
