IT'S SIMPLE, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.

If I have realised one thing this year it is that life is too short.

It is too short to worry about things that you cannot control. My Nan always said that if you can’t change it then don’t let it consume you. This is a rule I try to live by every day.

Move on, life is too short to be stuck in the past. Never be ashamed of who you were or what you have gone through because it sculpted you into the exact person you are today. Don’t hold on to negative moments in your life, sometimes you have to learn to accept an apology you never got.

Life is too short to surround yourself with toxic people. Don’t keep relationships going because you feel obliged to. People who have a negative impact on how you feel are not people you need in your life. Surround yourself with people who clap for your successes, they are the real MVPs.

Stop letting people get in your head. It doesn’t matter who you are, how kind you are or where you come from, there is always going to be someone who doesn’t like you for you…and you know what, that’s okay.

Stop worrying about what other people are doing. So you didn’t go to University, you don’t have a degree or some fancy job in a big office. Who cares?! Don’t be ashamed of what you do to put food on the table. You’re not defined by your career; you define it. Focus on your goals and keep on grinding.

Never take your health for granted whether that is mental or physical. That is the MOST important thing! Never let someone make you think that a mental struggle isn’t as important as any physical ones. IT IS.

Don’t dull down your personality in fear of judgement, have an opinion, be who you are and say what you feel. Life is too short to pretend we are someone who we are not. You do you Boo.

Life is all about taking chances, making mistakes and taking leaps of faith. Focus on yourself and your goals. Surround yourself with likeminded people and work your ass off to achieve what YOU want in life, most importantly don't forget to have a fucking fab time doing it.

As Miley said, life’s what you make it so let’s make it rock!

Love,
