This is your life.
You’re allowed to change your mind. To change your heart. You’re allowed to be a different person. To wake up one day and not want to do the things you’ve been doing all your life.

You’re allowed to love who you want.
To move on from the people who are not good to you.
To let go of anyone without any kind of explanation. Without any kind of regret.
You’re allowed to make mistakes. To learn from them. Or not to learn from them and experience everything all over again.

You’re allowed to forget your past if you want to. Or to stay in it but you must also understand that this is not how you will grow.
You’re allowed to change careers. To dress differently. To chase different dreams. To change locations, even if, at first, you’re terrified to do so.

You’re allowed to dislike yourself but also allowed to change those same parts you don’t see eye to eye with. To work on them until you’re completely comfortable with who you are.

This is your life. Make it count.
Make your own validation. Your own path.
Your own way of life.
You are enough. And you are not broken.
You’re a lot stronger than you want to believe.
Now breathe..

WHAT IF?

What if you’re never ready?
What if, this is as close to being ready that you’ll ever actually be?
What if, the biggest regret you have when you look back on your life, is that you wasted time waiting, waiting to be better, when you were already so very much enough?
What if, the last thought you have when your life comes to an end, is that you didn’t do enough living whilst you were alive?
My friend, this is it.
This is your life, right here, right now.
And let me tell you something, somebody somewhere went to sleep last night assuming tomorrow would be a new day.
And it wasn’t.
Today is the day.
Every day is the day.
Life waits for no one.
Seize the moment, seize the day.
Dance like nobody’s watching.
Watch the sunset.
Eat the delicious cake.
Put your bare feet on the cool grass.
Be alive.
Be ALIVE.
Put your hand on your chest and feel that heartbeat pulsing through your body.
That’s all you need to be ready.
That is truly all the purpose you ever really need.
You, my friend, are alive.
So live.

Hi Everyone! As we gather donations from so many amazing people, we are looking for more places we can donate back to. If you have any recommendations for organizations in Ohio, Michigan, or Indiana that would be open to accepting professional clothing and accessories, please let us know! We also received a generous amount of new undergarments from Dillard's in Maumee, OH, that we're looking to donate. Feel free to leave a comment below or message us with any recommendations. Thank you all for the support!
