I realized that I do not need to apologize for my bursting heart, because it is my heart that makes me all that I am and all that I am to become. 

Here’s the thing: it feels good to let the walls fall.

I forgive myself for all the times I said I wasn’t pretty enough, smart enough, good enough, witty enough, and worthy enough.

We’re the ones who get to enjoy every angle, gradient, tilt, and perspective life has to offer. We may have coffee stains and hair that never stays in place, but we’re the lucky ones in the end.

Of course it’s still nice to get validation and affirmation from people you trust, but it’s transformation to be able to offer yourself that affirmation and let it be enough.

Look up and remember your potential. Remember your worth. Remember that if you can make falling an art, rising will become your masterpiece.⁣

When no one or nothing is distracting you from that doorbell ringing, that’s when you can invite in the things that really resonate with your higher self. 

Don’t just say what I want to hear. Say the things that scare you to speak out loud. Say the things that’ll break the walls we’ve been boarding up for far too long

Move through the forest of your past and into the clearing of your present. Sneak off into the sunset, get to know the moon, and rise with the sun to start all over again.

I am not lost. I am healing.

The greatest thing you could ever do for yourself is to risk being seen.

We only stay in love with someone as long as we stay the person who loved them.

Love: I love how well you pair yourself with dinner. Hate: I hate how you make me eat a whole pizza at 3am.

You were never perfect and neither was I. But you at least reminded me that I didn’t have to be.
