Disconnect.

You are His child. And no amount of doubt or mess will change that.

What I mean when I say, ‘I love you.’ Is that I cannot imagine a life that exists without your arms interlocked with mine, or my lips kissing a mouth that is not yours.

You’ll always be the one I loved first—the hands that held me, the words that built me, the piece of my heart that can never be replaced.

I thought about how wildly beautiful it is that we were once just strangers, wandering around this earth without the taste of each other’s names on our tongues. How life simply happens, love simply happens. Especially when we’re not looking.

With this form of massage therapy, you aren’t ingesting a bunch of mind-numbing pain relievers just to get through the day. Instead of masking your pain, you are actually reducing, solving, and healing your pain.

Replace ‘I can’t’ with ‘I can.’

Your teen years: You were reckless. You had fun. You made mistakes. You grew up. And you’ll never forget how beautifully wild and free you felt.

You cannot rush the reconstruction of a heart.

The only thing you can do is put one foot in front of the other, speak positive thoughts into your head, and move towards what feels right.

Don’t try to make your ugliness pretty. Don’t try to turn heartbreak into something picture-perfect. It sucks. And it’s okay that it sucks.
