to create everything
we want
you
are not this strong
to be weak
for someone else.
here is so much beauty
in growth
change
and
practice.
- pursuit
it will not happen overnight
it may take days
months
or even years
but in the end
i promise it’ll be worth it.
my journey
was sought out
planted
and fertilized
for this growth.
don’t spend all of your time and energy
giving someone else your life
share yourself in portions
enough to have some for them
enough to still hold on to you.
the thing about art
about magic
is that some people will get it
it’ll move them in ways they could never even imagine
and for some
they won’t understand
they’ll have more reasons than a few
to make it seem as though
this
as though you
aren’t as beautiful
and powerful
as though you
aren’t as realistic as they would want you to be
and you
have to know
that you don’t require an explanation.
understand that being strong is beautiful but
so is vulnerability.
soon you will be trying to find anything
to break the fall you feel
while
staring at your reflection in the mirror
knowing
love
never
felt this real
- love yours
create your own meaning
understand what feels good to you
recognize
what doesn’t
don’t give in
this
is not it.
love
is not meant to be
this exhausting.
you
have to stop customizing yourself
to fit someone who doesn’t even deserve
you.
choose
yourself
your faith
your intuition
every.
single.
time.
- never give up
i was never looking for the light
at the end of the tunnel
i didn’t go into the belly of the beast
thinking it would be something pretty left over for me to grasp
i knew inside there was a jungle
i knew i had to
be hungry enough
strong enough
and passionate enough
to survive
we are created in the darkness and
forced into the light
- new life
remind yourself
to be more specific when you pray
you
cannot ask to be used by the universal God
and be mad
when you’re tested
nobody
will ever be what you need
if you
are still learning
what that is
- acceptance
we are staying in unsafe places
on purpose
and blaming other people for breaking our hearts.
stop saying
i’m fine
when you’re not
it’s ok
to say nothing
when
n o t h i n g
is how you feel.
you
are allowed to detour
as many times as you want
as long as you find your way back
to self.
you are the only one
not putting yourself first
you owe it to yourself
to be by yourself
to love
and value yourself
to understand that you need time
time to know what you will
and will not tolerate.
if it still
triggers you
you may still have some work to do.
silence is important
being still is important
taking the control back over your mind
