One day you’ll stop looking for anyone else’s permission to be happy

One day you’ll look yourself in the mirror and decide that there was truly never anything wrong with you in the first place

One day you’ll look yourself in the mirror and remember that your journey has only just begun

One day you’ll realize that overthinking every little problem, mishap, or backward step in life is a waste of time because at the end of the road there’s a new place to call home.

One day you’ll just get tired of being tired

One day you’ll no longer feel you're running out of time, and instead feel yourself getting younger with each day that passes

One day you’ll wake up in an environment that is welcoming and inspires you to be the best you

One day you’ll feel the warmth of a lover who is right for you reflecting all of the love in their eyes they have for you that you've ever had for yourself

One day you’ll stop being mean to yourself

One day you’ll take a step into the unknown and won’t regret it

One day you’ll feel inspired to do something you genuinely love

One day you’ll stop looking for validation

One day you will be fulfilling your purpose unapologetically and find people who are in alignment with your soul

One day you’ll understand that everyone around you is a reflection of yourself

One day you’ll decide to just do from the depths of your heart and soul instead of thinking about how, what, when, what if, or who will care

One day you’ll find you’re so much smarter and stronger than you ever realized

One day you’ll realize that because you went through everything you did, you have no reason to compare yourself and that you can embrace your own uniqueness without fearing what others will think

One day you’ll stop being so quick to judge others around you and express yourself as freely as you can, being your complete and weird self

One day you’ll find a passion that lights you up from the inside out

One day you’ll have decided that you are healing more and more with each step in life you take

One day you’ll realize that you haven’t learned all that there is to learn

One day you’ll become so grateful for everything you have and every story you’re able to tell

One day you’ll decide that you deserve so much more

One day you’ll find that maybe what you were worried about wasn’t as complicated as you thought it was

One day you’ll stop looking for so many answers outside of yourself

One day you will read this poem

One day you’ll remember reading this poem and that somewhere out there, a stranger made you this poem

Keep living

Sincerely, the random stranger who wrote you a random poem.
