“The past is the past, you can’t stay there. Let go, be free. There’s so much waiting for you in the now.”

She hurt deeply because everyone that promised to protect her heart, broke it completely.

In all of this chaos and madness, I found beauty.

It’s the way you smile that gives me the biggest butterflies.

Every phase of life is better with you.

There is someone out there waiting to love you in all the ways you deserve.

Pain can be heavy, sometimes leaving our hearts feeling fragile and empty.

She was a rare rose blooming within the depths of darkness.

Sometimes letting go means loving yourself just a little bit more.

Pain comes in waves, it can help us rise up but it can also knock us down.

Don’t forget to believe in yourself.

Every little part of your soul was made to shine.

Just like the moon, Love has its phases.

Don’t tame my heart, it was meant to be wild.

She is content, free and breathing with ease, the reward of her patience.

You don’t sacrifice your individuality; you sacrifice a lot of freedom.
