At times, it’s hard to remind ourselves that the present is the only thing we can control.

There’s always a side to life that we haven’t seen yet, no matter how bleak our present moment looks. 

In this life, you were made to feel deeply, to express your sorrows, and to allow yourself to be authentic with yourself through life’s many ups and downs.  

Here’s to the things we wish we could say out loud. 

Sometimes, we find friends for a season and it seems as if everything naturally falls into place. 

I think there’s a blessing in attaining your own sense of happiness within yourself by releasing control from people and events to make you happy.

When it becomes too much, most people probably don’t even notice that there’s something wrong.

You are worthy simply because you are alive.

As astonishing as it may seem, I am coming to grips with feeling dissatisfied. I’ve had weeks to just be with my thoughts, sit with them, observe them and watch them pass through my mind.

When we are struggling people around us can only do so much, but just being there for support means everything.

But here’s the truth: the underdog has everything it takes to become successful.  

Life isn’t meant to be perfect but I promise you on the other side of your pain, there will be lessons learned and newfound strength to face whatever comes your way. 

Stay with the guy who never questions why you are the way that you are, but reminds you that you are uniquely beautiful in every way. 

So, in a nutshell, 99% of people’s motives have nothing to do with you. It is only a reflection of their thinking and what they believed was right at the time.

Everyone is gifted at something. 

Everything you want, desire, and yearn for is being prepared for you right now.

Today may have been horrendous, but tomorrow will be better.

I struggle, as a woman, to live in a society where you can be dying on the inside but it is ok as long as you slay on the outside.
