Girl, stay in your lane.

Girl, stay in your lane. 

Don’t look around you. Don’t worry if you’re moving slow while everyone else is moving fast. Don’t stress that no one else seems to struggle with that one thing you struggle with. Don’t think about someone else’s successes compared to yours. Don’t sweat it if it seems that everyone you know is on a five-lane freeway and you’re on a scenic dirt road with no reception. Girl, this is your life. You are unique and different from every other person. There’s only one lane you belong in, and it’s yours.

Do you like caramel iced lattes and long strolls in the Magnolia Home section of Target? 

Girl, stay in your lane.

Are you a go-getter, a professional, a businesswoman? 

Girl, stay in your lane.

Are you a stay-at-home mom who like to drink whiskey on the rocks while she binge watches true crime shoes?

Girl, stay in your lane.

Are you a runner? A kick ball player? A skier? 

Get it girl, stay in your lane.

Have you ever paid for gym membership all year long and never went except to use the sauna twice? Damn Christmas specials.

Girl, stay in your lane.

Have you ever bounced a check? Lost a debit card (or 50)? Cracked an iPhone screen? 

Girl, stay in your lane.

Are you scared of spiders? Do you hate small spaces or big crowds? Do you really dislike people that eat loud?

Girl, stay in your lane.

Listen, don’t worry about what everyone is doing around you. Don’t worry about being better at “A, B, C” because so and so is good
at. You be good at being you. Maybe you are good at eating cheese and finding Netflix specials. Maybe you are good at competing in marathons and eating broccoli. We all have our gifts.

Girl, stay in your lane, because that’s where you’ll live your best life.

Love, 

Jess

Let’s take this one into the New Year, okay?
