JUSTICIA Y ESPERANZA

“I need a life that isn’t just about needing to escape my life.”

“If he chooses not to hold you, remind yourself you do not need his arms. Not when you have two of your own. Hold yourself, girl. Remind yourself that the love you have to give is more nurturing than he can ever give you, and you deserve that love, a far more wholesome love than his.”

“One day we got tired, tired of chasing, of caring, of worrying… Not because we didn’t want more, but because the person didn’t value our efforts.”

“Studies show that most emotions last no longer than 90 seconds unless we attach stories to them. You have a feeling of being lonely—and this will pass through you quickly unless you make up a story about how you’re lonely because you’re unlovable and worthless and nobody will ever love you and you’re going to be alone forever. When you attach to the story, you suffer needlessly and the suffering can linger for years. But you don’t have to choose to suffer this way. Your soul can find peace, comfort, and stillness even in the most difficult times if you’re able to view your negative emotions from this witness position.”

“If you have made serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
