#7: 50 Awesome Things

50 reason to keep on living

Sometimes life can be a little crappy. And most of the times, we forget to take a step back and calm down for a second. Just a take a breath. Ask yourself what's making you feel that way you're feeling, good or bad.

Remember that whatever your'e feeling right now matters and is valid. Things will be okay in the end, even if it doesn't feel like it now. Whether you've overcome a hardship, or you're enduring one right now, just know that you're so much stronger now.

Rather than dwelling on things you're missing out on during these unusual circumstances, try and use this time for yourself to improve and grow and rest.
