Whenever you’re spending time with a friend or family member, put your phone away and actively engage in the conversation. The best gift that you can give someone is the feeling that they’ve been heard.

When he asks you to dance and even if no one else is and everyone is staring, your eyes are just set on him.

Sometimes you’ll give too much and not get anything in return. Sometimes you’ll fight hard for things and end up losing. Sometimes you’ll love people who won’t love you back.

ARIES: You were born a firecracker with a quarter-inch fuse. You start arguments AND end them, even if the other side has no interest in arguing.

Dating someone with a chronic illness will teach you empathy and patience.

I’m slowly learning to be okay with late arrivals, with things not being done on time, with delays and hurdles and starting over. I’m slowly learning how to let things expire.

Yes, you will get rejected. Yes, you will hit walls in your progress. Yes, negativity and self-doubt will be on your heels with every step.

Lord, I trust you when you say “Wait,” because I understand that you are still going to fulfill great things through me. I put my confidence in your schedule, in your will and in the entirety of your plan.

Your 20s are the greatest time
to love yourself tenderly
anyway.

I’m slowly learning that there are no timelines in life; just learning, living and evolving.
