What if the only difference between heaven and hell was choosing to help other people in need?

Emotions are just hints for us to go within, to dive deeper, to see what’s really there. They manifest in different ways.

I was so scared of getting hurt that I forgot that life requires risk.

“Overall, we don’t want a life half-lived, half-assed, or half-hearted. We don’t want to go through the motions just to fulfil some outdated notion of what this ‘us’ is supposed to be. We don’t want superficial, surface-level, unemotional, uninteresting, unexceptional, average, ordinary connection.”

Seriously, what the fuck is going on in America right now?

The problem is this: Nothing inside us stays lost. We don’t lose our emotions in our bodies. We lose ourselves and who we are. We lose our way, we lose our strength, and then we lose hope.

I hold this world in the palm of my hand and it’s on me to decide where I leave my fingerprints.

Today was an avoidable, unnecessary, incomplete and internal battle that ended in defeat for a part of me I had to release, but I’m not quite sure that I feel free. And that’s okay.

Your love is a lottery and I might forget the numbers I bet, but I won’t forget we won. I know the victory of us.

You are living, breathing happiness.

Starting today, I take my power back. Starting today, I am enough.

I wonder where your thoughts go when you close your eyes.

Life will happen in such random, fantastic, and fabulous ways that you’ll look back and laugh at the dots you connect and you’ll learn your missteps are still an important part of the dance.

Not many people on their deathbed regret following their heart, but do you know what they do regret? They regret living small. They regret playing safe.

I’m calling bullshit.

I want the dim stars in dark skies to match the calm stares in your eyes when you look at me, speechless and hopeful, and I want to know there and then, now and again, I want to truly know what it means to feel alive.

This is me standing up for sadness.

Remind me how I love getting lost in you. Remind me that you are an adventure worth taking and never forgetting.
