It’s easy to wake up every morning with a full cup and even easier to allow everyone to take from your cup throughout the day without even realizing it.

You were waiting for me to realize that you were perfect for me and that what I had wanted had been in front of me this entire time. You were waiting for me to stop making mistake after mistake and just open my heart to you.

Turning 18 was thinking I had it all figured out.

Take me back to falling in love for the very first time and soaking up every minute of it.

I’ve been terrified for months to run into you.

I’m guilty of body-shaming myself in every way possible. I’m guilty of not loving myself or the skin I’m in on the daily. I’m guilty of not always loving me and who I am.

Stop trying to be somebody to or for someone else. Be that somebody for you and only you.

It’s okay to fall apart when you thought you had it together.

Use this new year as a chance to break your terrible habits and focus on what drives you and what you’re passionate about.

I can’t drink about you or because of you anymore. I’m not strong enough.

You’ve made a lot of stupid decisions in your life, but hurting me was probably one of the worst.

You feel what you feel and you feel through every bit of it.

Everything is not as easy as we all make it seem most days, but we fake a smile and push through it.

I’ve always wanted you. I haven’t spent these years in limbo running back and forth for no reason.

There’s a reason we can’t quit each other.

Everyone’s looking to love and be loved back without question, uncertainty, or even insecurity.

Realize that the person you’ve been overlooking for so long is more than likely your forever soulmate.

I’m not out to please anyone other than me anymore.
