Every sunset gives you one day less to live but every sunrise gives you one day more to hope. So savor every step and live it well.

You never really know what you want in life until you're completely freed from anything that's holding you back.

Feelings that come back are feelings that never really left.

“The nail that sticks out farthest gets hammered the hardest.”

Thinking holds what you feel; feeling drives what we think.

I think it's brave. I think it's brave that you get up in the morning when your heart aches and life is messy and you do not feel like being soft for the world. I think it is brave that you continue to love and express and open your soul, despite the way you were treated in the past. I think it is brave that you keep going, that you keep believing in something more, something bigger, even when you may not know what you are hoping for. I think it is brave that you fight, I think it is brave that you choose, every single day, to move for ward because that is what makes you strong. That is what makes you strong.

Sometimes, the words said by the mouth are not the thoughts said by the heart.

Sometimes, you have to choose yourself. Sometimes, you have to choose your healing, no matter how hard you want to keep fighting, no matter how deeply you care. See, when your heart chooses someone who does not choose it back, when your tender soul fights for someone who will not fight for it, when you make the effort to show up for someone who does not care, or make the effort, to show up for you — you must walk away. You must give yourself the closure you so desperately seek. You must give yourself permission to move forward, to let go, to believe in the fact that you deserve to be loved by someone who will look at you and know that you are enough. Because if there is one thing life has taught me, it is that love, genuine love, should never make you feel like you are too much, it should never make you feel like a difficult person to care for. If there is one thing life has taught me, it is that love, worthwhile love, should never make you quiet your heartbeat, it should never be something you have to beg for. So please, if you still find yourself chasing after someone who is not chasing after you stop running towards those dead ends and instead start running toward yourself.

“There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience.”
