After having a rough time in my life that was full of bad experiences regarding work, relationships, and other things, I decided to rest and take some time for myself.

The real way to feel safe is to not resist change and to not fight it. It’s to take the time in the course of change to learn what you want and to make the choices towards that wanting.

I wonder what would happen if we permanently resided outside our comfort zone. Would that eventually make discomfort comfortable?

“

Change is inevitable if living is what we’re after, not purely existing in a warm cocoon-like climate. 

“

This is a mantra I sometimes have to tell myself when I’m about to do something that makes me feel nervous: I have anxiety, but I am going to do it anyway.

“

Now I’m awake. I’m finally stretching my arms and opening my eyes and my mind to new possibilities, and more importantly, new changes. It won’t be easy, but I know it will be worth it.

Sometimes, you need to let your worries take a backseat. You need to ignore your doubts, your fears, your what-ifs. You need to take a chance on yourself, even though you’re not completely sure of yourself, even though you have doubts, even though you aren’t positive whether you’re making the right move or making a mistake. 

“

Don’t hold yourself back because you feel like you’re already behind, like you already lost your chance at happiness, like there’s no hope for you.
