This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

Last Sunday I went to USF’s Caribbean Cultural Exchange Miss International pageant. One of the sections of this pageant involved showing a cultural struggle in the countries that the contestant represented. There was one them in common and that was suicide, and why there is so much suicide in the world and specially in the Caribbean islands. The representations of this problem influenced me to write about it because everyone has experienced a breaking point. I find words carry magic, they carry otherworldly power that can’t be explained but manifested. I took my liberty to write on my Instagram’s story what I felt many people needed to hear, including myself.

I did not want it to last only 24 hours, so I now share the powerful and thoughtful words that I shared Sunday in hopes that I can help out someone that needs them or did not even know that they needed them.

“You are in human experience.

Humans… we make mistakes.

As a human, you are on a journey to reach divine perfection. …

Trust me now,

You will fail,

You will fall, and

You will make mistakes

and that is okay.

That is OKAY.

Don’t ever let anyone make you feel bad for not being perfect,

from not meeting THEIR expectations

because you will learn,

you will reach,

you will rise

at the perfect time.

Don’t’ let anyone let you down,

even that voice in your head

it’s all part of the journey…

Even if you fail 100 times,

you will rise 101 times!

May you put no pressure for you being experiencing your human life #nomoreliveslost

You are reaching divinity.”

I also wanted to add some inspiration that my love gave me.

Do not seek confirmation within others, as you are guided to divinity. Be true to yourself and work towards what you do best, regardless of what others think as you are detaching from anything that wants to hold you back from your true purpose. 

 

Blessings to all readers, may you share this on!
