Be strong enough to let go, and wise enough to wait for what you deserve.

If someday the moon calls you by your name don’t be surprised, because every night I tell her about you.

Above all, don’t lie to yourself.

You are helpful, and you are loved, and you are forgiven, and you are not alone.

I pray you quit overthinking, replaying failed scenarios, feeding self doubt & seeing the good in everyone but yourself. You deserve more.

“Not everyone can feel things as deeply as you. Most people, their feelings are ... bland, tasteless. They’ll never understand what it’s like to read a poem and feel almost like they’re flying, or to see a bleeding fish and feel grief shatters their heart...”

You are so brave for getting this far. I’m so proud of you for not giving up.

The broken will always be able to love harder than most. Once you’ve been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything that shines.

You will never be truly happy if you continuously hold onto the things that make you sad.

“Tomorrow might look different. You’ll have to wait and see. The world is never frozen still, it changes gradually. Then suddenly, it’s all transformed, and you can see it too, and you wonder why you’d ever doubt grey skies would turn to blue.”

You are allowed to terminate toxic relationships. You are allowed to walk away from people who hurt you. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of yourself.

“Let gratitude and your curiosity find the overlooked wonder and small joys in the simple things, the twinkle in each moment.”

I could not bring myself to think that you were bad. Even though you had done bad things. How could I think that I had loved something bad? What did that say about me?
