Alexa, play a song that will lift my spirits.

Don’t give in to feeling guilty.

Analyze your friendships in 2020. Just because you have a history with someone, doesn’t mean that you have to force the relationship to thrive if it has already started to die. Friendships are meant to bring us joy – not judgment, anger or resentment.

No one gets through life unscathed. No one gets through life without loss and death and grief.

1. Experience will only take you so far on a job interview; you have to show them that you have the passion and determination to get the job done.

One day, you’ll see this for what it is. And one day, you’ll finally understand that you deserved better. 

For the first time, I can breathe.

You’re going to send positive vibes out into the world. Not because you need something good to happen to offset your shitty week. But because you work hard and you deserve for good shit to happen.

Remember to work hard and don’t become complacent. 

One year after you lose your mom, you’ll really begin to take that first step into making peace with what happened.

This first Christmas without her is hard.

You listen to her voice mails a little less. You put away the photo albums, but you can’t bring yourself to throw out the yogurt she still had sitting in your fridge all those months ago.
