The goal is balance

The goal is balance.

It is not to be 100% happy and upbeat and smiling and bubbly all the time.
Because, honestly, that’s just not possible.

The goal is to find balance.
Being able to take those shitty moments and balance them with positive moments.

It’s about being able to be so fucking sad you think your broken heart may cut your chest into pieces and explode out of your body.
And then: collecting yourself and those broken pieces, putting them back together, and finding a way to create balance.
Maybe the way you create balance is by having dance parties alone in your room to the cheesiest 90s music you can find.
Maybe the way you create balance is by making. Painting, writing, creating something, just for you.
Maybe the way you create balance is drinking the entire green smoothie so you justify another scoop of ice cream later.
Maybe the way you create balance is through friends, through family, or through yourself.

Balance looks different for everyone, what works for you won’t work for others, and that is okay. We are all seeking, searching for what makes us tick, what ignites our soul deep within, what evens out our dark moments and brings them a little more into the light.

No matter how you find it, no matter what it looks like, keep searching, keep fighting, and remember:

It doesn’t matter how you find balance, it just matters that you find it.
