Sometimes change is exactly what you need to grow and shine, sometimes it’s the gift you didn’t know you needed even if it feels like the biggest curse. 

If it’s putting you through hell, it’s not love. 

Years later, the real closure was simply me moving on from everything that broke me and healing myself instead. 

The more you hold on to the things that didn’t fit into your life, the messier your life will get. 

Sometimes God says no because he wants you to delve deeper into faith, into understanding the universe, into believing in him even if you don’t always agree or understand why he does things the way he does.

If there’s a slight chance it may not last, you’ll still give it your all because for now, it’s real. For now, it’s not some rubbish someone else is feeding you expecting you to fall in love with it. 

True healing means abandoning anything toxic even if it’s the last thing you want to do.

The thing about closing doors is that it teaches you how to walk away, how to find new doors that could embrace you, how to walk into something and have the courage to walk out once you realize that you don’t belong there.

The truth is sometimes changing our minds is necessary.

You and this person will see things eye to eye. You will see a future with them, not a dead end.

I’m not your victim. I’m not the result of your mistakes.

Thank you for loving us when we weren’t so lovable. Thank you for being patient with us as we grow, as we heal.

In 2020, I hope you release yourself from your own insecurities and fears.

You find peace when you move on from people who make you feel bad for speaking up or telling the truth or simply showing your most vulnerable and raw sides. 

I hope you know that people will always tell you things they don’t follow.

The moment you lose respect for someone is the moment you realize that sometimes respect is more important than love.

The truth is we outgrow those who don’t appreciate us. Those who are okay with our absence. Those who allow the distance between us and them to grow. We outgrow those who make us feel like we’re replaceable. 

You glow differently when you’re not scared of pain, when you’re not ashamed of your scars, when you’ve found a way to accept the pain and you’re not ashamed to tell your story.
