* I dare you to beat the best and be the best. I dare you to take that leap of faith today! I dare you! ---- Queenebunoluwa15. *

Days later.
One of the times people get excited about the new year .
You know why?
The reason is, knowingly or unknowingly we do have hopes and plans for the new year.
That's normal right?
Thought so too.

* You gotta get up
You gotta get up and make a move
'Cause the world will never see you until you do
No, they don't really care what you're going through
So you gotta show them, baby
You gotta show them the real you
You got to give them what you've got
No, don't let them see what you're not. *
Lying down in her white gown on the sand in the beach, Sushie listened to one of her favorite songs, which is titled ' like you '
The song is very precious to her that she even found meanings to every single word of the lyrics.
And sometimes she could even relate the song to her life.
* 'Cause you are strong, you are wise
You are worth beyond the thousand reasons why
And you can't be perfect, baby
'Cause nobody's perfect, darling
But, no, no, no, there's nobody in the world like you. *
Most times we judge ourselves unjust.
It feels like we've forgotten that no one in the world is perfect.
* What do you do when you can't let go?
What do you say when you just don't know how you feel?
And you know nobody knows how you feel
'Cause everybody's got their own damn problem
So everybody's trying to find their way
And day by day is the struggle
In this world you know you have to hustle
Just know that you're not alone
You don't always have to be strong all by yourself
I said, it's okay to ask for help. *
But, asking for help?
Lots of people would rather die than ask for help.
We can't blame them for being this way though. It's the way the world is that makes us like this.
We all find ourselves being afraid of being mocked and shamed so we avoid this, we rather keep these things to ourselves.
But, does it help?
The feelings and emotions only build up till they become too difficult to contain.
To avoid this, I think it's totally okay to ask for help.
After all, a problem shared is half solved.
So sharing is okay as long as it's with the right people.
* Now listen, people will find you, but they don't define you
And you will find people who'll help redesign you
People will find you, but they don't define you
And you will find people who'll help redesign you
You are a work of art
Bet you didn't think you'd come this far
Now here you are. *
There's no doubt that we'll meet lots of people in this race of life.
While some would try to change us for the better, others might try to do the opposite.
So we should try not to make people define us.
* Baby, you are strong, you are wise
You are worth beyond the thousand reasons why
And you can't be perfect, baby
'Cause nobody's perfect darling
But, no, no, no, there's nobody in the world like you. *
We need to always work on reminding ourselves on a daily basis how strong , wise and worthy we are on a daily basis.
People would try to make us believe otherwise but as long as our resolve is strong we won't fall! No matter what!
We should also try as much as possible to remind ourselves how unique and wonderfully made we are and how there can never be anybody like us, never!
* You know you're worth it, 'cause you know that you can't be perfect, baby
'Cause nobody's perfect, darling
I love you just the way that you are
I love you just the way that you are, my love
It's like the stars in the sky, oh, when you look in my eyes. *
There's a saying that states that, People who truly love you will love you just the way you are and not the way you ought to be.
So you don't have to change anything about yourself to suit anyone.
You are enough just the way you are!
Don't try to imitate anyone!
A fake can never compare to the real thing.
So just work on building yourself and not on others!
Work on you!
Always remember how unique, worthy and loved you are!
Don't let anyone I mean anyone dampen your spirit.
You are enough!!!!
