F*ck Self Forgiveness
Self Forgivness is one of the hardest things we ever have to do, other then moving on. I think the real question is how can we move on if we don't forgive ourselves? We need to forgive ourselves for all the indiscretions of the past, all the heartbreak, all the times we held ourselves back and more importantly all the times we didn't treat ourselves the way we should be treated which is with love. Maya Angelou said it best "Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know before you learned it"

F%ck Moving on
Moving on sounds like the most daunting thing in the world doesn't it? It's really difficult. You have to change your routines, and uproot your whole life. This can be easy for some people but for some it's the most difficult thing in the whole world. But honestly sometimes it's what you need to do; and here's why. Sometimes being in a situation too long is unhealthy and it may actually cause more harm then good. You owe it to yourself to move on. It could be the best thing for you. And maybe just maybe you'll find yourself in the process.

F*ck Expectations
Expectations are an essential part of life. You have expectations in your professional and personal life. All of which is okay! We need to have expectations in order to have a healthy life. We go through life encountering all kinds of people in all kinds of situations. And while that can be beautiful and enriching, it can also be shitty. People aren't all good. People are sometimes terrible. I had to learn that over the course of my life. I used to think that everyone was inherently good and trustworthy. I used to think that everyone was a friend and we should all love each other. I had to learn that the hard way. 1 abusive relationship later I'm now realizing that it isn't the case. Not everyone is your friend and while some people are lovely and could have a potentially life changing impact on you; we all can't be friends. We're all created differently.

F*ck Finding Yourself
Finding yourself seems like the most daunting thing in the world. But you have to do it. The journey might be long and difficult but when you do it will be worth it. What could drive someone to find themselves? Well a lot of things. Maybe you just went through a beyond terrible breakup and you feel about 7,000 years old. Maybe you're just going through the motion of life and you feel like you're going nowhere. Maybe you just don't know who you are anymore. All of these things could drive you to want to find yourself. How would you do this? Well there are so many things you can do. You could plan an epic solo trip, you could write a book, you could get help from a trained professional. You could go back to your hometown and really take time to go back to your roots as a person. You could move somewhere new and really lay down roots and start over. Maybe you need a fresh start. Maybe you need to shed your old self and get to know the new version of you that is coming through.

Open letter to anyone whose struggled with Alcohol abuse
Trigger Warning: If reading about Alcohol abuse or suicide ideation makes you uncomfortable don't read this post. I struggled with a drinking problem at the age of 14 after a sexual assualt. (I'll post about that later on) but I drank everyday and all day. I didn't sleep a year and a half. I was trying to drink myself to death. I'm glad I didn't die though. I keep telling my story in order to help others. I want to be a voice for others that have been through similar things. So to anyone whose had a drinking problem: You're not alone. And you do matter. Also to anyone whose been sexually assaulted: You're not alone and you are believed and there is help out there.

F*ck Your Future
Everyday people are always telling us "Plan for the future, make sure you have your future set in stone" And while that's wise advice to some degree, we also need to focus on the present. See if we keep worrying about the future we won't have time to enjoy the present. Yes it's wise to plan for the future and keep doing so! But also enjoy the present. Make mistakes, be an idiot, have regrets, be silly. Do it all. You're only young once and someday when you get older you'll regret the things you didn't do while you had the chance. So go travel, start the business, learn the lessons, fall in love with the wrong people. Get your heart fucking stomped on so you can come back stronger then before. Do all the things.

F*ck your past
Listen we all have a past. We've all done things We aren't proud of. We all have regrets. We've all had highs and lows throughout our existence. And thats part of the human experience.We all need to acknowledge this and understand that without our pasts we wouldn't be were we are today. That could be a beautiful story to share with millons of people in a book perhaps. Or it could be a tragic story with a tragic ending. But either way it's our past. Our past taught us lessons and we need to be thankful for those lessons because we needed to learn them however big or small.

F%ck Loneliness
If there's anything I've learned in my 28 years of life it's that Loneliness is brutal. Have you ever lay in bed and wished you had someone to talk to or someone to laugh at whatever you were watching with you? We've all had those moments haven't we? Well if you have you're not alone. I've certainly had those moments in life and I still do. I have those moments at least 3 days a week if not more. Now this presents us with an opportunity here. You can either dwell on the loneliness which is tempting believe me! And if you need to have a good cry because you're lonely that's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact I've had those nights as well!

Dating is hard. There is a lot of trial and error involved. You'll get your heartbroken a few times before you get it right. To all those dating and trying to find the right person: Guess what? The one doesn't exist. What! You mean to tell me that there isn't just one person for me? All that shit I was taught as a child is false? Basically. How can I prove this to you? Well keep reading and I will.

F%ck Soulmates
Have you ever read the book Eat Pray Love? Well if you have you'll remember the scene where Elizabeth's Friend is telling her what a soulmate is. But before I tell you what he said I'd like to tell you what everyone thinks a soulmate is. Everyone thinks a soulmate is a perfect match, they think it's the person you'll spend forever with. But that's not the case!

F%ck Healing
Healing is brutal isn't it? We get used to a certain situation and a certain routine and all of a sudden it's gone. All of the memories, moments are gone. It hurts, it f%cking hurts. You have to grapple with all these emotions and wanting things to be the same. But deep down you know that it was for the best. The situation had to end, it had to end for your highest good. It had to end so that you could become your best self. It doesn't hurt any less but you know it's true.
