042: when did your heart last ‘skip a beat’? "i've struggled with self harm for a while and have been trying to get better. it had been nearly a year since i'd done anything but last week i relapsed. this was also the first time in about a year that i looked closely at my legs. i saw all the scars, even the faint ones, and that's when my heart skipped a beat. i was so disappointed in myself, but i also realized that if i could get past those problems, maybe i can get past these too" - richel from california #comefromtheheart

040: when did your heart last ‘skip a beat’? “while traveling the pacific northwest coast, i realized that life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, triumphs and failures but in the end we have always learned a lesson that places us exactly where we need to be. so we need to open our hearts, live unapologetically and love freely. my heart skipped a beat when i realized that i am okay in this big crazy world and i would be okay saying goodbye to someone i loved” -heidi from slc utah @adoremephotos #comefromtheheart #love #slc #utah #thatslife #yolo #everythingisamazing #miami #hello #goodbye

038: when did your heart last ‘skip a beat’? “it was a few weeks ago i had relapsed. i posted on tumblr about not wanting to fight this alone. my best friend and i were kind of on edge with each other from the multiple fights we had the weeks before. he had come over that morning and i stayed in my room to avoid the shame of breaking my promise i made to him. he saw my post and came up stairs. he sat on my bed and told me i didn’t have to face it alone. and proceeded to hold me as i cried on his shoulder and tell him how sorry i was for breaking my promise. he was understanding and just trying to calm me down and told me he just wants to help me get better and wants me to know that i was loved if not by anyone else but him and my mom. -ash from miami #comefromtheheart #love #bestfriends #family #mom #struggle #breakthroughs #miami

037: when did your heart last ‘skip a beat’? “it wasn't too long ago, actually, but this was the first time in a long while that my heart felt awakened like this. how much of this happened seems a strange, beautiful whirlwind, like something out of a fairytale. i had recently gotten back in touch with someone very dear to me, you could say an old friend. our communication had been sporadic since the two years that i had known him, but continuous. somehow, someway i found myself on a plane to visit him, not knowing what to expect or even what to prepare for. i felt that the universe had special plans for me, given how seamlessly and easily everything was occurring. i didn't feel like a pawn, but rather that i had surrendered control to a force greater than myself that was leading me to this place. it was a very profound, if nerve wracking, flight. we had arranged to meet in the lobby of a hotel in his city after i'd journey from the airport. the hour-long ride from the airport gave me plenty of time to think until i arrived, but any headway there proved elusive. i simply did not know what to envision, so instead i allowed my mind and heart to open in anticipation of whatever lay in store. i remember getting there a few minutes before he did and it was the longest moment of my life. it felt like my heart was pounding a mile a minute, but when i looked up and saw him coming toward me, a sight both familiar and strange, in that moment my heart skipped a beat. so many emotions flooded through me, namely happiness, excitement, and a rush of nerves leaving me. many more feelings like this took place over the time that i was there, as well as the times i've visited since. with this man, the past, present, and future makes my heart skip a beat" -rebecca from denver #comefromtheheart #love #rebecca #relationships #denver #miami #fairytale #airport #lifechanging

036: when did your heart last ‘skip a beat’? “the last time my heart skipped a beat was today... after a few weeks of internal change, i was longing for a connection to myself, i was reaching for a constant amidst a storm. i opened my chest of journals, time capsules holding the thoughts of my former selves. and as i read through my past pondering and answering and pondering again... i was reminded change is itself the constant indeed. and that for me, sincerity to my mission of knowing myself has never ceased to be. i am proud of all that i am" -aly from los angeles @alyschoon #comefromtheheart #love #aware #change #aly #losangeles #la #miami #305 #sunday
