I hope you know you shine through all the hate. Shine through the rocks and taunts being thrown at your head. Stay strong just like you taught millions of little girls to do. Stay fearless just like how you taught all of us to be.

You’re allowed to have goals. You’re allowed to want more. To crave more. But, you’ve already come so far.
You’re surviving. You’re laughing. You’re breathing. You are living. And sometimes, that can be enough.

We need to stop blindly wrecking our lives. We need to stop having the same old routines. We need to start actually living. We need to learn how to breathe deeply and to slow down. And we need to stop being so terrified of the unknown.

As a libra, your ex most definitely carries a grudge for you. They will never look at you in the same way, and will trash talk you to anyone who wants to hear it.

Strong women are allowed to break down. They stumble. They cry out. They sink to the ground. Because they know, that they are allowed to do it. They know that they can’t carry so much at one time. And that sometimes, they need to let it all go.

When you are so intoxicatingly in love, sometimes you lose track of yourself. You’re so caught up in forever, that you forget to be present. You forget yourself. You forget reality.

Choose someone who loves you without fear. Who shouts instead of whispers. Who leaps instead of walks. And who runs towards you, instead of away from you.

I wish I could pretend it’s not true and make the choice to not even write about it. But, I need to get this off my chest. Deep down in my gut, I know for sure that if you asked for me back, I would say yes. And the sad part is that, this will never happen.
