Being kind does not mean putting up with everyone’s bullshit. Being loving does not mean ignoring all the red flags and doing everything you can just because you love them.

“

Chase your dreams. Chase a different career. Chase new friendships. Chase your fears.

“

Every day is a day that culminates in us walking towards our truest selves or away from it. Every day is either choosing peace or having some dust accumulate on your chest.

“

Being kind to yourself is often doing the thing you least want to do. 

“

The love that is really meant for you will never ever pass you by. If it does, it was never meant for you. Don’t force things if pieces don’t quite fit together.

“

I wish somebody would have told me that being strong is a must. That every battle will one day be won. That I must stand tall even when everything is trying its best to knock me down.

“

Do things that scare you. Go after the things you truly want. Mess up a few times. Learn from the things you’ve done wrong. Chase that dream that you’ve always had. Don’t be afraid to be wrong.

“

We can ignore our internal battles of grief, depression, addiction, or whatever, but if we are not doing anything to FILL ourselves with the positivity or help we need to overcome these things, we eventually will run dry — empty.

“

Forgive yourself for any hate you directed at yourself. Forgive yourself for what someone else did to you. Forgive yourself any blame you internalized, because you did not hurt you.

If you are living a comfortable and happy life, please never feel guilty about not taking risks or traveling the world. If you are fine with working a 9-to-5, only to come home and crash on the couch, then please keep doing your thing!
