❝ it's just really scary how unpredictable people are. at one moment, they make you feel as if you're finally home and get you all comfortable and attached to them and the next they could be so brutally distant and harsh to you. that isn't everyone though. life has its own ways to teach us a lesson that is letting go of what doesn't want to stay. believe me what wants to stay will find a reason to, despite all odds. who wants to genuinely be with you will never abandon you. someone who doesn't wanna stay won't care how deeply you love them. it's a tough lesson to learn. i hope you let go knowing that the better is yet to come. stay strong. ❞

❝ start where you are and move with humility; recognizing that you may make mistakes along the way and that's okay. what matters is that you are showing up. do not let fear or shame consume you. do not invite them into the conversation. give them no power, no voice, no authority, no control. instead, choose grace; knowing that grace will guide your steps and help you to find your footing as you navigate your way to the future. lean in to the fight - even when it's uncomfortable, even when it'd be easier to back down and do nothing. take your stance. there's work to do. the universe is in motion and so should be you. ❞

❝ there will be some things you won't get over. some things that will sting you so hard they will set you back to where you started and you will hurt and hurt and hurt. but you will also rise from it. you will learn from the past. you will adapt and survive no matter how hard it gets. you will shape your own reality and accept how you should never settle for anything less than you deserve. ❞

I hope you know that you deserve it all. The best, the most honest, the most beautiful and purest love in the world. Not only to be loved by others but to be loved by yourself. To look in the mirror and think ❛ yes, I'm exactly who I wanna be. ❜ To speak up and be proud of yourself. To be brave and open. You deserve the nicest and most caring people to walk into your life. You deserve it all, you know. The whole world and you should never forget.
