No storm is ever powerful enough to take down the brave sun or its soft, loving moon.

I know that to reconnect to who I am, I have to unpack what I feel.

If you want to see your goals manifest, you can’t keep manifesting distractions. 

I forgive myself for all the times I said I wasn’t pretty enough, smart enough, good enough, witty enough, and worthy enough.

I want you to try something today. I want you to look into the mirror and see yourself.

Vacations may be canceled right now, but my memories are not.

I’ve collected roses and unread text messages. I’ve gathered first-date stories and last-date comedies. I’ve assembled big hopes and crumbled big dreams.

Today, I am inspired to slow down differently. Because in the frequency of calm, I am learning that there’s more than one way to steady your pace.

Social distancing isn’t something to ignore, but it’s also not an excuse to ignore your support system. ⁣⁣

We’re the ones who get to enjoy every angle, gradient, tilt, and perspective life has to offer. We may have coffee stains and hair that never stays in place, but we’re the lucky ones in the end.

In this life, we fall and we rise, we twist and we turn, and throughout all of it, we love and we learn.

Of course it’s still nice to get validation and affirmation from people you trust, but it’s transformation to be able to offer yourself that affirmation and let it be enough.
