“Give yourself time to rest + heal + then rise.”

You don’t need to go far to find beauty. – you just need to start seeing yourself.

Distressed but not defeated.

Better yourself. Don’t belittle yourself.

It’s okay to know what you want, it’s equally okay to be fighting it out well.

Mistakes happen to refine us, not define us.

Things do not have to be shiny and loud, to be important.

Don’t rob the world of who you are by trying to be someone else.

We grow by being present, not by being perfection.

Get rid of the idea that your healing is tied to someone else’s apology.

Teach boys that manhood is not determined by how often they hold back their tears.

If they don’t value you, someone else will.

Growth often looks like out growing old patterns and good people.

You always feeling inadequate, if the world decides your worth.

You and I are shades of beauty from the same sky.

Loss teaches us that life is fragile and love is worth the chase.

Let pride go, to let love in.

But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.

Confine yourself to the present.

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.

In drying plants, botanists often dry themselves. Dry words and dry facts will not fire hearts.

You’ve seen my descent, now watch my rising.

Life’s not fair, get used to it.

Don’t let loneliness drive you back into the arms of someone who doesn’t give a damn about you.

I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful.
