Find adventure, find love, find genuine connections. Keep learning. Take an extra cookie.

I hope that we can stop hesitating when someone we care for grabs us for a hug and squeezes a little tighter. We need to allow ourselves to be raw and vulnerable with them.

The people in our lives, right now, are not guaranteed to stay. It takes a lot of work to keep relationships strong.

Rid yourself of all the unnecessary things in life. Take a step back from everything you think you need in your life and reevaluate it. Obi-Wan and Yoda both do this, secluding themselves from the surrounding world for years at a time to become one with the earth and their souls.

Yes, darling, I understand that being vulnerable comes with excruciating pain but from that pain we grow as individuals.

Little one, don’t be like me when I was younger. Don’t wilt, bloom. Don’t hide yourself away and shut everyone out. Always be open. Live your life with your arms wide open.

I am done with the temporary. I am done trying to save relationships that are only destined to fall apart. I am done caring, wholeheartedly, about the people who just want to use me as a vacation destination. I deserve better.

You are a sensitive soul and you are harder on yourself than anyone else and that is the one thing that no one sees.
