What's left unspoken.

“there is nothing more powerful than realizing that your wholeness is not defined by anything but you. people may add onto the beautiful pieces that already exist within you, but nothing they do could ever complete you. the keys to your acceptance have always belonged to you.”

The worst is having a dream where someone loves you and you can practically feel them touching you and it feels so real and then you wake up and it’s like the life is being sucked out of you and the happiness just drains out of your body and you feel empty again.

“I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.”

“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.”

“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”

“To everything I’ve lost: thank you for setting me free.”

“For as long as I could remember, I had been apologizing for existing, for trying to be who I was, to live the life I was meant to lead.”

“I’m not lazy. I’m just exhausted from fighting my way through every single day.”

“If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.”
