The title “Dad” is one that has to be earned.

If you love an introvert and are loved in return, you are lucky. You will live in a very respectful and peaceful space filled with love and understanding. 

You see her for what she is: a beautiful girl who is tired of being in pain.

Falling in love happens often, but when you fall in love with a “Protector”- it is ten times harder. 

Today would have been your 18th birthday, so from the bottom of my heart, happy birthday.

The funny thing is that although I gave myself the labels, I was trying to fit others labels.

“How can God exist, if there is so much suffering?”

I used to think it was rubbish, this whole concept of self-love.

Every girl’s dream is to have a certain book or movie type relationship and I am no exception.

“What if we break up and our friendship is ruined?”

You never forget your first love: so why let it be a painful memory.

I think the hardest experience we will endure in life has to be moving on and letting go. No, it most definitely is not easy, but it is necessary.

You are an extremely powerful woman. It does not matter how old you are, where you are from or, what career or stage of your life you are in: you are beautiful, you are strong, and you are worthy.

You were created with a barrier made of steel and you are so much stronger than most will ever be.

How your whole life goes; that’s up to you.

Do not feel obligated to do a whole big coming out. As long as the people closest to you know who you are you that is all that matters.

Don’t worry, I’m that partner too.

Momma always told me that monsters weren’t under my bed, that they didn’t come out at night. I was safe. But when I was five years old, I learned that the monster snored in the room next door.
