If I could tell you just one thing right now, I would say— "I hope you do it."
I hope you reach toward the thing you can’t stop thinking about. I hope you walk down the unknown path that scares you but also holds the promise of something that feels honest and beautiful and right. I would tell you that this life is so short, and it goes by so fast, and you might as well be brave and foolish and risk it all for something that matters.
And I would tell you to let go of the shoulds and ought tos that lead you down unaligned paths and ask yourself—"What is my heart trying to tell me?" And I hope you listen to that feeling and honor that feeling because it is real and valid and nobody can take that away from you.
I would tell you to create the most beautiful life you can imagine for yourself. I would tell you that you do not have to settle for anything that tries to dim your light. And I would tell you—"Live."
Live fully.
Live courageously.
Live inspired.
Please. Just live.
