That the universe does this thing where it aligns you with people, things & situations that match the energy you put out. The more you improve yourself & raise your vibrations, the more you will meet people who will in turn help you channel that positive energy & the more you will see things that are beneficial to your mental well being. Just learning to look at life with a more positive attitude and feel. Thanks to everyone who commented a note of reassurance when I was in a lost place. Also, Bless Ya’ll everyone who thought to say a word of encouragement. Dont take it for granted♥️!”
