girl to girl, i know you're busy trying to be everything to everyone, but don't forget you're just a girl living life for the first time too. you are still learning, still growing, still trying your best with what you know today. you don't need to fix everyone, carry everything, or always have it together. it is okay to rest. it is okay to say no. it is okay to choose yourself without feeling bad. so be gentle with yourself when life feels heavy. you are not behind, not failing, and not missing your chance. you are becoming who you are meant to be. save some love for yourself too.
