A Pep Talk From Lisa Simpson

For when you're just having one of those days.

So you're having a bad day.

Everything you've been doing doesn't seem to be working.

And you just don't know what you're doing anymore.

The world is pushing all this stuff on you.

And sometimes it's just hard to pretend it doesn't bother you.

The world can really make you believe you don't deserve happiness.

I know it's hard, but you can't listen to that inner voice of doubt.

YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY. YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING!

You deserve to be loved.

Someone who shares all your interests...

... and who enjoys complaining about the same things you do.

You deserve to be heard.

I know if feels like this:

But this won't always be your reality.

They will hear you!

You deserve awesome friends who love and appreciate you for who you are.

You will find people who understand you.

And you'll be able to start that book club you always wish you had.

Besides, everyone who's ever made you feel stupid will be praising you soon enough.

You are going to do awesome things!

You are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

It might not feel like it now, but you'll get past it all.

Cherish all the beautiful moments. You know this, but you also have to do it.

And, I know, sometimes this advice can sound really hollow. But you have to believe! THERE IS GREATNESS IN YOU!

Just remember: YOU ARE AWESOME. YOU ARE LISA SIMPSON.
