“Probably the most important advice I ever received was that it’s okay to not be able to do everything. Too many people push themselves to make sure they can do everything but realize they don’t enjoy a single thing anymore so please just remember it’s okay to fail a little and experiment. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed so it’s time to start living a little bit; not stupidly but rather enjoying the people around while they’re still there, telling people the truth, and moving forward rather than falling back into bad situations.”
