hope

“Cada um de nós tem aquele nó deixado por alguém.”

1. happy moments should be cherished, not over-thought
2. people will come and go no matter how long you wait for them or how badly you want them to stay
3. making new friends opens up whole new worlds
4. apologies can make all the difference
5. random acts of kindness can change someone’s day from bad to bearable
6. the only person you’re stuck with is you so learn to love, forgive, and accept yourself
7. sometimes the worst people for us are the ones we think are the best
8. it’s not selfish to be personally hurt by something and anyone who tells you otherwise probably feels guilty themselves
9. the world can feel ugly at times, but don’t overlook the beautiful things or they may just not be there one day
10. tell people you love that you love them even if you think it’s implied
11. don’t betray your friends
12. being yourself takes time since change happens often, so it’s okay to not know who you are at any given time
13. never give up on your dreams or you’ll regret all the things you could’ve done
14. don’t ever lose yourself in the name of love
15. trust yourself
16. life has its highs and lows, so be prepared for how low the lows can be
17. do things spontaneously— just for the fun of it
18. better to regret than to wonder “what if” forever
19. always make sure people know you’re there for them
20. there’s never a perfect time, and if you wait too long, you lose your chance
21. everyone has shit going on in their lives, so be kind to people
22. always be thankful for the people who have stuck around
23. don’t waste time beating yourself up over things you can’t change
24. if you’re trying to decide between holding on and letting go, it’s probably time to let go
25. hug longer

“You can love them, forgive them, want good things for them… But still move on without them.”
