You can smile.

You can laugh.

You can dance.

You have the capacity to be happy.

You aren’t normal, but you’re also not weird.

You’re human. That’s the only thing there is.

You look like you. Not good or bad. Not pretty or ugly. Just you.

You smell like you.

You talk like you.

You move like you.

You do you. Don’t forget.

You’re allowed to fail.

You’re allowed to hurt.

You’re allowed to have flaws.

You can change.

You can let go.

You can hit pause.

You can quit.

You can start over.

You can choose something different than you did yesterday.

You control more than you think you do — and everything you don’t doesn’t matter.

You mean something to someone.

Someone looks up to you.

Someone wants to be more like you.

Someone is betting on you.
