“

I hope you meet someone who loves your body through every curve and every stretch mark.

“

I was never looking for perfection, so show me your shades.

“

Don’t let anyone make you feel like you’re not worthy because you’re not where they expect you to be.

“

I am not perfect. I have flaws, insecurities and fears.

“

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.
