“I was the only one who knew that despite her sharp ways, her heart was more tender than a flower skin…”

“maybe it all starts with you choosing yourself. maybe it all starts with accepting yourself beyond their perceptions and ideas of you. maybe it all starts with treating yourself with the same kindness and love you wish to attract.

“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.”

“showing up for yourself consistently is a brave thing, a powerful thing, a vulnerable thing. but you are allowed days to recluse, days to be vulnerable, days to feel weak. you are allowed to let things fall apart temporarily so you can rise beautifully tomorrow.”
