Don't hold back.

So I tend to write about my "problems" and how they make me feel, but I thought I'd offer advice this time.

Don't ever hold back.

Don't hold back your emotions, fears, nothing. go after the things you want in life because people in this world will spend their entire lives telling you you can't do it and it's your job to stare back and say "watch me." 

If you find yourself stuck in a relationship that is nothing but toxic, don't hold back on what you really want. Get the hell out of the relationship and go find your happiness. Don't be too concerned on being "alone" because in reality we're kind of alone, but I don't believe being alone is a bad thing. It's better to find peace with yourself on your own terms than to find false happiness in someone you've convinced yourself makes you happy. Don't depend on other people to the point where it determines how you feel and when you feel. 

Allow yourself to feel every bit of emotion in you. It doesn't necessarily mean to show it in front of other, but it does mean not to hide it from yourself. Don't bury it, feel it. allow it to surface.

Don't hold back.

Find yourself someone who will recognize the scars, dimples, freckles, birthmarks on your body without you having to point them out.

Don't hold back.

Find yourself someone who can look at you and know what you're feeling even when you lie about it.

Don't hold back.

Find someone who isn't afraid to know all of you. And won't necessarily love the faults, but will accept and cherish them.

Don't hold back.

Find someone who encourages you to chase your dreams and won't let you change or give up any of them for anyone, especially them.

Don't hold back.

Be patient with yourself. Yes, you deserve to be loved, but the greatest love you can have is the love you have for yourself.

Just Don't hold back.

Yours Truly,
          Jess.
