365. Just be you.
That’s my parting message.
Don’t worry, I ain’t going no where. You’re going to log in and still see me here tomorrow. I do think about death a lot though. Now, I’ve got a lot of people I care about and it gets me thinking: what message would I leave them? Just be you sums it up nicely.
If tomorrow never comes, I would want you to be yourself. Because you are scared of many things. Because you feel like forces beyond your control are oppressing you. Because you can’t be you for some reason.
People don’t take simple advice because it’s easier said than done, myself included. But if there’s anything I learnt from the past year of writing every day, it’s that vulnerability is what creates connections. So many of us are too scared to be open and be ourselves but really, that’s all we have to do to be happy in life.
I’m not going to dress it up, that’s all I have to say. If I never wrote another word, I’d be more than happy for this piece to be my last.
