Some days, I love my eyes.
And others, they only remind me of all of the trauma they have seen.

“

Those who matter won’t mind and those who do don’t matter.

I try to ensure that my husband knows he is loved, but the challenges and stresses of motherhood often distract me from such.

“

A big part of me believes that it is time that everyone, myself included, stop faking the perfect life, the perfect marriage, and the perfect relationship. This is tough.

“

Don’t sacrifice your values trying to go with the flow, but rather, let them unfold who they are before you

“

I loved the moments where you disrobed that fierce masculinity to show me the softness, a gift of vulnerability that showed me you felt safe with me.

“

Date someone who sees your little love handles, but kisses them because they’re so cute.

“

“Me: ‘That gap between your front teeth, now that is kinda cute.’
Her: ‘I…have a gap between my front teeth???’
Me: ‘Err, maybe…’”

Here’s the beautiful truth about love between two humans: it’s messy, it’s complicated, it’s flawed, it’s broken, it’s crazy, it’s wonderful, and it’s imperfect.

“

Through depression, I found true happiness. Through heartbreak, I was able to discover the meaning of love. Through failures, I created accomplishments. Through mistakes, I learned tough lessons.
