Prathima's Miles & Milestones

From uncertain to the certain

You are capable of making it through the unimaginable. Go ahead even when you doubt whether you have what it takes to make it through another day. You’re going to keep moving forward, one small step at a time.

You’re going to have moments when you feel like everything is coming together and moments when it feels like everything is falling apart. This is normal.

Keep going ahead, even when you’ve screwed up. Start from the learnings from the failures. Now you know what exactly doesn’t work. Don’t waste too much time feeling sorry for yourself. As long as you learn from the experience and try your best to do better in the future, then you should be proud of yourself. You’re only human. You’re bound to fumble and fall. What matters most is how you bounce back from those setbacks.

Keep going ahead, even when you feel hopeless. You are destined for beautiful things, but you need to stick around long enough to experience them. It might be hard today, and it might be even harder tomorrow, but eventually making it through the day won’t be a struggle anymore. Eventually, you’ll discover the happiness you’ve deserved all along.

It’s not that you feel like you don’t have someone. It feels like no one has you. — Theo Von

There are more people in this world who care about you than you realize. Even if you’ve lost a few along the way, there will be more waiting around the corner.

Keep going ahead, even when times are hard. Life isn’t always going to be fun and exciting. There are going to be road bumps and obstacles along your journey.

Keep going ahead, even when you aren’t sure what you want out of this world. Even when you feel like there’s nothing out there that could possibly make you happy. Remember, the way you’re feeling right now is temporary. You’re not going to feel uncomfortable forever. But you need to make the choice to take care of yourself. You need to put effort into feeling better because you deserve to be okay.

Keep going ahead, even when you’re exhausted. Sometimes, strength is simply getting out of bed in the morning and making yourself your favourite breakfast.

If you can’t do anything big, start with the small things. And if you can’t do the small things, that’s okay too. Sometimes, you need a second. Rest isn’t the enemy. You need to recharge. But you also need to have faith in yourself. You need to pick yourself up and keep going.

Sometimes, strength is stepping into a cold shower when all you want to do is sleep.

Remember, you are worthy of attention and affection and undying love.

You are going to find your people eventually.

They’re out there, and they’re probably feeling as lost as you are right now — but once you come together, everything will feel right.
