A Reminder

It's a running joke amongst my friends that I spent $60 on a planner. At school I am constantly on the go. I have long days filled with lots of classes, work, extracurriculars and homework, but I'm no different from a majority of college students. My planner is my lifeline for time management and organization. While I could do an entire post on the ins and outs of this planner, that's actually not why I'm writing today. 
There is a section in the back of the planner dedicated to notes and I've turned it into a place to record quotes that have impacted me.
The one I wish to highlight today is the large block of text in the upper left corner that reads:
"And on some days you need to remind yourself that you're worth more than they've led you to believe. You are not a maybe or a back up plan. You have no time to waste trying to convince people to see that. Somedays you have to create your sunshine. Every day you must love yourself." 
So many times I get wrapped up in everything that's wrong. In today's society I feel that it's so easy to highlight the bad without ever acknowledging the good. Don't get me wrong, some days you do just need to have a pity party and recognize that life can suck. However, since coming back to school I am really trying to minimize my stress by maximizing my positivity. There are so many good parts of life that can become masked by our worries and problems.

I'm sure I'll talk about some more of my favorite quotes in the future because I absolutely love words and the power they have.

Until next time,
Taylor xx
