17. Even just one little thing can start a cycle of positivity!

I like your idea of doing some laundry and lighting some candles!

The lit candles sound very hygge! I love that concept.

It’s okay to not know right now what to do with the rest of your life.

Tomorrow might bring a meteor that sends us all to the next adventure after this life.

We never know!

Plans can be a nice thing, but they aren’t 100% necessary.

Sometimes it’s okay to just have a little happiness today.

We don’t really have to prove anything to anyone in life. We are told we have to meet goals and keep up with the Joneses, but that is a lie.

At the end of life, what most people interviewed said they regretted most, was not being true to themselves. Trying to do what other people wanted, instead of what they really wanted. They felt they wasted their lives.

What would make you feel happy to do today?

Be Pippi Longstockings. Remember those books from childhood? She didn’t care if she fit in or accomplished things! For her, every morning presented fun things to do, and adventures.

During these hard times, and while you are hurting, try most of all to just be yourself. And be a good friend to yourself.

You can always plan the rest of your life, tomorrow.
