“Go and love someone exactly as they are. And then watch them transform into the greatest, truest version of themselves.”

“People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in - told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream, and more. Remind each other of this.”

“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.”

“To find peace, sometimes you have to be willing to lose your connection with people, places and things that create all the noise in your life.”

“Don’t kill flowers growing inside of you for someone who doesn’t appreciate the way you bloom.”

“I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and your inner peace.”

“It’s kinda pointless to fight for what you want when what you want continues to break your heart.”

“Start over my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it. Then start over and love yourself the way you were always meant to.”

“I could write a poem using nothing but your name, over and again.”

“You can love and fight, you can seek and you can wait, hold and still be held.”

I remember I loved flowers. And I would caption under each: always.

“Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.”

It’s 2.47am and my little heart is awake with so much pain. So much hurt.

“Never forget the people who take time out of their day to check up on you.”
