Sometimes you really do need to break before you can fully become. And sometimes the breaking can seem like the end. But then one day, you will wake up and realize that you were always the key to healing your own heart.

No matter what I did and who I became, I would never be enough for you.

Please don’t let yourself believe that you deserve anything less than being happy with your life, your relationships, and your job.

There are so many situations in life that can lead to pain, but there are also so many that can make you tremendously happy.

I am the halfway point you never knew you needed. 

The moment you tell yourself enough is enough, you will begin your steps towards freedom.

Stop pretending that change is the enemy and new is synonymous with pain.

Why was it so hard to make a moment last?

You can’t just spend your entire life waiting for the story to continue. You’ve got to keep writing it yourself.

So you say you want to take me out for coffee, and just talk.

Sometimes the best gifts come in the most unexpected of packages.

You tell me to be quiet so the new girl doesn’t hear us talking about it.

It is impossible to be in constant control of everything happening in your life, but what is possible is how you perceive the outcome.

I am not the fat on my stomach. Or the stretch marks on my thighs. I am not my crooked teeth or less than spectacular curves. I am a soul waiting to take flight, to break through the barriers of who we are told we are supposed to be.

But every day, I still get up, and I still try to keep pushing towards this elusive “dream,” even though I don’t even know what it is I am looking for. Before you spend so much time beating yourself up over everything you have not done, take the time to reflect on everything that you have done.

Sometimes situations occur in our lives that we have no control over—no amount of good deeds or small, daily successes can make you immune to life’s challenges. All we can do is face these trials and confidently move forward in the direction we feel is best-suited to our overall well-being.

What I see as beautiful is not the same as what you recognize as beautiful, and I have no place demeaning you because our minds interpret the world around us differently.

Every slammed door and closed road you encounter is just more kindling to add to your fire. The more frequently we fail, the brighter we can burn. As long as we don’t give up.
