You never liked to pretend, but sometimes you have to swallow it all down and accept it. Not everyone will do things you like, but you can't blame them. Try, try to love them. If you can't, try even harder.

You have to accept that nobody stays with your forever. No matter how significant they were to you, one day they will leave. And when they do, don't drown in sadness. Let them be your motivation, let them be the energy for you to move on and be stronger.

Believe in yourself, don't let obstacles stop you. Let them be the little stones you take to create a new pathway for yourself, prove to no one but yourself that you can make it, that you can be someone your parents will be proud of.

Don't let anyone stop you, or make you feel useless. If they are supposed be there, they will. If they are not, they never was. Don't let them be the reason for your tears, for there will always be someone who truly deserves them.

Cherish the people who told you they are always behind you, and you have to believe in them. They won't be there always but you know for now, they are just a call away.

And some people, they don't matter. If they don't appreciate you, someone else would. Treat everyone with kindness even though you think they don't deserve it. Be strong, be independent, be the one people can count on and be true to yourself.

Make every effort to stay happy. And each time you are, you'll truly be.
