“the art of being your own muse and recreating yourself as many times as you need, adding more layers and color to your spirits canvas until you like what you see.”

“if it needs to be forced into alignment for you to find it, then it probably isn’t looking for you either. what’s for you will feel more like silk and less like resistance.”

“february, be transcendent. open my eyes to everything that i’ve struggled to see out of fear or guilt, and open my heart to everything deserving of love, including myself. give me the softness and patience to water my intentions until something beautiful grows from them.”

“sometimes the waves keep coming in your direction because the phase you’re in is teaching you how to swim; above your fears and insecurities, above opinions or assumptions that don’t belong to you, above everything that suffocates you so you can finally learn how to breathe.”

“you’re the book you need to read the most but you’ve slipped into the habit of putting yourself away on a shelf for people with fancy covers and no substance. the pages in your soul deserve to be flipped by people willing to learn you and your different love languages.”

“may, cover me in softness and sage my intentions. give me the courage to lean into my purpose regardless of how high the journey takes me, inject love and patience into my endeavors so i can heal from everything that stands in the way of reaching my goals, be metamorphic.”

“not everyone deserves healed versions of you, not everyone deserves to admire the flowers that’ve bloomed from the cracks in your heart, not everyone can hold you without pulling your triggers, feel no guilt for releasing what you’ve grown from to welcome in who you want to be.”

“august, immerse me in hope and drown my doubts, turn the volume up on self love and silence my insecurities. speak clearly to my intentions even when the language in my life changes. allow me to step away from fear so i can step fully into my power. may i find peace in who i am.”

“be at peace with what didn’t happen so you can make room for what should, find peace with what’s taking time so you can find appreciation for what you have already.”

“you want to be in constant flow but even ocean waves are not consistent in how they come and go; honor what stays and let go of what crashes, this is how you learn to swim in your own essence without drowning.”

“sometimes the emptiness you feel is just a call to dedicate more space to yourself. a gentle push from something higher to fill that vacancy with more of you, a request to make yourself the protagonist in your story instead of playing supporting roles, a sign to come back home.”

“you sabotage your happiness every time you disguise your spirit to fit into spaces that require you to dress up your authenticity; you’ve poured too much into your growth to be forced into wearing costumes that you aren’t familiar with just to make people feel more comfortable.”
