You don’t need to feel guilty for feeling so much. For wanting to be more than a flame—a firestorm. You are the center of the house, the glue that holds it all together, the light that keeps it warm.

When you are told not to speak, you realize the power in your voice. You must stay strong in your values, your wants, your compassion. Fight for your freedom, as there is no other choice.

She knows what it is like to feel betrayed, abandoned, left out in the cold. But it’s because of this loss, she feels the undeniable pull to always be honest, fearless, and bold.

How many of us have seen strength in a woman wielding a sword, leading battlefields, mapping plans for victory—know that sometimes battle is also in the quieter moments, like standing up for what is yours, speaking encouragement to the women around us, supporting each other when life gets us down, helping her up when she feels she might drown.

The world is full of people who will make you feel as though your success is not warranted, but you must ignore these people. You rose from soil and dust, and you fly so high, you deserve every bit of sunshine.

We are our own person. We have hopes, we struggle, we dip in and out of the roller coaster that is life. But we are stronger than we sometimes believe, and it is this strength we must look to in times of trouble.

You are more than the lines on your body, your shape, your skin. You are the start of day, when life begins.

Your passions are the things that make you who you are. The spark in your eye when you speak of your passions should be what someone loves most about you. Never let anyone tell you that your hopes and dreams don’t matter.

Unleash yourself to the world, shout from rooftops that you are worthy to rise. Turn back anyone who fills your space with negativity and lies.

As you grow, you will do so with a little more wisdom, a path lighted with healing, a mind daring for answers. And you will continue moving forward, onward and upward to better things.

We must stand up for each other.
