You Only Live Once, so.... You only live once, and that truth is both terrifying and freeing. Because if this is the only life you'll ever get, then why spend it beating yourself down? Why waste the days worrying about what others think, or trying to carry the weight of expectations that were never meant for you? Today,just this once,give yourself permission to breathe. To forgive yourself for the things you didn't know, for the times you fell short, for the moments you wished you had done better. Because you won't get another chance to be this version of yourself. There is no rewind, no second life, no redo waiting somewhere else. This is it—your one shot at being who you truly are. And if you spend it in constant battle with yourself, you'll miss the beauty of simply existing, of living with kindness toward your own soul. So, live it with grace. Live it with compassion. Live it with the quiet bravery of someone who knows they deserve peace. The world may never fully understand you, but you owe it to yourself to stop hiding, to stop punishing, to stop waiting for permission. Be gentle with yourself now, because this one life is yours alone—and you'll never get another chance to live it as beautifully as you can today.
