Keeping Katy

Nothing is as beautiful as someone who has survived losing everything and still has a tender heart.

I lost myself trying to please everyone else. Now I’m losing everyone while I’m finding myself.

I wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry.

People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.

Go and love someone exactly as they are. Then, watch how they transform into the greatest truest version of themselves. When one feels seen and appreciated in their own essence, one is instantly empowered.

No one is going to rescue you from yourself—your inner demons, your lack of confidence, your dissatisfaction with yourself and your life. Only self-love and good decisions will rescue you.

You’re healing every time you

“ I can’t keep holding on to a ‘maybe one day’ ”

Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex; But eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, Stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories and make peace with them.

If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

“Why should I be sad? I have lost someone who didn’t love me. But they lost someone who loved them.”

If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.

Your absolute best won’t be good enough for the wrong person. At your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right person. Remember that.
