You need to make sure you’re making your decision based on what will make you happiest in the long-term, not what is easiest in the short-term. 

The more small tattoos you have, the more you can fit on your body! Here are some cute, small tattoo ideas for anyone who misses the tattoo parlor!

Your obvious feelings probably aren’t that obvious. 

Remember, just because a relationship didn’t work out doesn’t mean it was worthless. It still has value. Your memories still mean something.

You need to stop blaming yourself for caring too much, for growing too attached, for making something out of nothing. It’s not nothing if it’s bothering you.

Walking away is hard when you have a soft heart because you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. You don’t want to cause any drama.

VIRGO: You want to get better at recognizing signs of burnout. You want to avoid putting too much on your plate at once. You want to build a healthier work/life balance so you’re not always so exhausted. 

It’s always a shock when people comment on how little I’ve changed. It’s weird that they can spot me in a crowd, and recognize me straightaway, when the girl they’re looking at is absolutely nothing like the one they think they knew.

Don’t talk yourself out of taking risks that excite you. You don’t want to spend your whole life waiting for the perfect moment to make a move. You don’t want to be a passive player in your own life. 

Your loneliness can trick you into missing the wrong person.

TAURUS: Although you’ve suffered through some incredibly tough times, your past hasn’t hardened you.

You’re not perfect. You’re never going to be perfect. However, you can actively try to better yourself. You can put effort into becoming the strongest version of yourself. You can admit that you have flaws and do your best to change them bit by bit, every single day. 

Find someone who appreciates you. Someone who encourages you. Someone who loves every little thing about you, even the parts you were convinced were unlovable.

One of the hardest things about growing older is reminding yourself to stay positive.

In 2021, I want to live with a fearlessness that will propel me toward my dreams. I want to take chances on myself, even when it’s risky, even when there’s a chance failure will become my best friend.

Failure is a part of life. You shouldn’t consider it proof that you’re never going to succeed. You should use the lessons you learned as stepping stones to get closer and closer to your ultimate goal.

You didn’t belong together, but you couldn’t have known that from the start.

In 2021, say goodbye to the people who are unable to apologize, to compromise, and to self-reflect.
