between the shadow and the soul

Love isn’t supposed to make you feel vulnerable; it’s supposed to make you feel safe.

Long after you’ve forgotten someone’s voice, you can still remember the sound of their happiness or their sadness. You can feel it in your body.

Self care isn’t always pretty , it’s not always candles and a bathtub full of roses , sometimes it’s forcing yourself to get out of bed and dragging yourself , sometimes it’s the pep talk you give to yourself or the quick cry in the corner . sometimes it is convincing yourself to do all these things you should be doing but you have no will whatsoever , sometimes it’s cutting some ties no matter how precious they were , sometimes it’s the bitter medicine you need to give yourself . Self care isn’t always pretty but it’s so worth it .

Just because you are ready to trust again, doesn’t mean you’re ready to fall in love.

And in life there are no happy endings or sad endings, for there are no endings at all. There are only new beginnings.

People always say actions are louder than words and words mean nothing, but as a writer my words are my actions. My words are everything.
