How to be a sunflower in this time of life;

Because it’s not always easy to keep your dreams flowing.

People constantly ask me how I keep a smile on my face, but it’s much more complicated than a one sentence answer. Life is by no means all “shits and giggles,” but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t absolutely wonderful. A gift, some would say.

The people who are always smiling have been through the worst of the worst; whether that is emotionally, physically, etc. These people know what it’s like to be at rock bottom, they know how hard life can be, so whenever it isn’t a complete wreck, they view it as wonderful. Beautiful.

Nothing about life is easy, and many things aren’t as satisfying as we’d like them to be, but looking back to past endeavors, what more could you have wanted? No, people aren’t always nice, but you have to learn to brush it off. Show your sophistication! The people who are hateful or disrespectful to you are the ones who are truly missing something in life, and they take it out on the loveliest people.

The lesson here is to embrace yourself, you’re beautiful, even with flaws. I have many flaws, but I’ve learned to love them. Help yourself before anyone else. Love yourself.
