It’s not just you.

It’s not just you who’s beach holiday gets rained on.

It’s not just you who gets a pimple on your nose before a big date or photo.

It’s not just you who feels alone sometimes.


It’s not just you who gets nervous when they meet people for the first time.


It’s not just you who misses those who are gone.


It’s not just you who wishes for more. Sometimes. 


It’s not just you who falls down. Face plants even.


It’s not just you who hates to do the grocery shopping, laundry and dishes. 
I promise. Sometimes it feels like these things only ever happen to you. That only you feel like this. That for some reason you are the only one who deals with this stuff. You’re not. Promise. So, you know, chin up. Give yourself a break. And for goodness sake have some fun. This is life. To my friend, be kind to yourself. And remember, it’s not just you who needs reminding sometimes.
