“Darling, you deserve it all. You deserve love and peace and magic and joy dancing in your eyes. You deserve hearty, deep-belly laughter and the right to let those tears fall and water the soil. You deserve freedom and goodness and company and days of bliss and quiet too. You deserve you happy and healed and content and open. So keep going, darling. Keep going.”

“I’m not much like myself any more.”

“You walked away and all I did was watch you, because no matter how hard I tried to make you stay, you still left.”

“Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their behaviour. Forgiveness prevents them from destroying your heart.”

“When you have a good heart: You help too much. You trust too much. You give too much. You love too much & it always seems you hurt the most.”

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.”

“Sometimes it’s not the person who change, it’s the mask that falls off.”

“I know it’s not easy for you, living this life, but try to remember, always try to remember, you’re not the only one with troubles.”
