ix. lastly: some comments!

• never feel pressured to give up something you love in order to satisfy someone else, or their expectations. 
  
• everyone fails. what matters is that you breathe in and dust yourself off, get going again.
• do not feel lacking or inferior to others because you cannot do something they can. they, as well, are unable to do something that you can. we are in this manner distinct and separate individuals.
• let no one but yourself define your limits ; nobody can tell you you aren’t capable. 
• if you feel alone, let the future be a source of strength. know that if you try, if you reach out, you will find someone. the future brims with endless possibilities. 
• a setback is just another way to prove you let nothing stand in your way.
• if you feel caged, grit your teeth and drive for freedom. you haven’t tasted freedom, so why stop now?
• take breaks, and never sacrifice your health for your work/studies/relationships. no one is allowed to tell you otherwise.

all righty, thats about it! i really hope this can be of help to anyone out there struggling. much love, take care!! <3
