“

When you get the opportunity to stand at the edge of the ocean, I hope you take it.

“

Just like the ocean, you don’t need a reason to be powerful, stunning, mysterious, or beautiful beyond the reach of words. 

“

When you turn down dates, when you delete dating apps, when you lie about your feelings, when you choose to stay single instead of taking a chance on someone who makes you feel alive, you are not protecting yourself from heartache. You are choosing to break your own heart.

“

You could sit in a room and come up with a million reasons not to do something. Yet all it takes is one optimistic thought to create magic.

“

Well let me tell you one thing, you get a lot in return for the risks you take in life, but that doesn’t always mean its what you wanted to receive.

“

I want to tell him I love him, I say. Fear says, he might leave.

“

So, I did follow my gut and it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life, but also the worst.

“

It always seems impossible, until it’s not.

“

Forget for a second that your heart was ever broken and love like you’re fifteen again with the same passion, with the same innocence, with the same purity and the same hope.

“

You are not finished. Your story is not over. Your legacy has not been left; in fact, you are still building it with your hands, your voice, your steps, your heart.
