Don't stress yourself Don't stress over what never happened - the plans that fell through, the moments you imagined but never lived, the chances you wish you took but didn't. Those shadows don't deserve to follow you into every new day. Life has already given you enough weight to carry without adding the weight of "what if." Look at what did happen like the strength you built without noticing, the storms you survived when you thought you wouldn't, the days you pushed through even when everything felt heavy. Those are real. Those are yours. And they matter more than the fantasies you blame yourself for not reaching.And then look at what can happen. The possibilities that are still open, the hope that hasn't left you, the new doors that haven't even appeared yet. Your future isn't ruined because your past didn't go as planned. You still have mornings waiting for you, people you haven't met yet, opportunities that are quietly making their way toward you. Let hope be the thing that carries you, not regret, not fear, not the stories you tell yourself about everything you didn't do. Hope is lighter. Hope is gentler. And hope is the one thing that will always remind you that your life isn't finished yet.
