No matter how much you try to shelter your heart, life will still happen.

When a person speaks, try to not just listen but to understand and to be open.

I cannot help but fall in love with the process of looking at the beautiful pictures that were captured of my life throughout the years.

You mess up. You let yourself down. You hurt others. You hurt yourself.

Seeing things for what they truly are can keep us living with the right amount of information going forward in life, nothing less and nothing more.

Love is the difficult conversation to try to make things right. Love is admitting when you are wrong. Love is carrying the weight of the world together.

Ask yourself in silence and with no other distractions, What do I really want?

Even when I am stubborn, even when I am obnoxious, I hope you always know that I am a human in need of your blessing.

The fragility of life just makes me aware of the fact that I only have this moment.

Perhaps you’ve got all the resources to walk right into your daydreams, hang out for real there, and get exactly what you want.

I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel seen for the beautiful person that you are in and out.

Sometimes pain is unkind and I am sorry that you had to witness that. 

Every day is a day that culminates in us walking towards our truest selves or away from it. Every day is either choosing peace or having some dust accumulate on your chest.

Check on them randomly.

Life can be inspiring.

Part of feeling lonely is always rooted in how we respond and treat ourselves.

Sometimes I wonder if I will feel this way ever again and if this time it will be for someone who makes it easy for me to understand if they reciprocate it.

I want you to promise yourself that, despite the darkest storms and the endless noise of your life, you are strong enough to live your life and enjoy it.
