The hardest journey in life is learning to live with yourself.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
If you can master that, you can master anything.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
I earned money, I earned a name, I 💫brought happiness to others.💫
But when I sat alone in silence, I realized—💫💫💫💫♾️💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
I had done nothing truly for myself.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
Not once did I sit with a cup of coffee just for me.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
And today, at the age of forty, I feel it deeply:💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
everyone was connected to me for a reason.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
And as their reasons faded, so did they.
💫💫💫💫💫💫💫♾️💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
What remains is me, my books, and my thoughts.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
And these, I now want to share with you.
💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
Living for yourself is an art,💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
true happiness is found only in your own company💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
and in the things you love to do.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
So why not begin again?💫💫💫💫💫
I don’t know how much life is left,💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
but I want to spread light,💫💫💫💫
to be a source of inspiration for many.
I love to laugh—💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
and I want to make you laugh too.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
If you are reading this,💫💫💫💫💫
know that I wish to talk to you,⭐
to create bonds with new friends,⭐
friends who may live far away,
but are writing their hearts out,⭐
just as I am writing mine. 💖⭐
