BRIANNA PASTORIf my skin is going to crawl, I pray it crawls into safer spaces.
BRIANNA PASTORStare hard at the hurt. Ask why it stings. Dig into the root and rip it out. It doesn’t have to stay there just because it grew there.
BRIANNA PASTORFor each person you encounter is also you.
BRIANNA PASTORLove does not equate staying quiet. Sometimes it has to be outspoken, always loud, and forever on fire.
BRIANNA PASTORI take great comfort in knowing that there are even better versions of myself I haven’t hugged yet.
BRIANNA PASTORI am not supportive not fond of nor proud of my self-abuse. I carry untold debt to my soul. It is the least I can do, to be gentle with it.
BRIANNA PASTORThe universe hears what you say, but it knows what you mean.
BRIANNA PASTORLetting go is actually the easiest decision we can make. We become so adapted to the weight of our heavy hearts that being light again is a foreign language.
BRIANNA PASTORAnd who will advocate for me? Me. Even when it feels lonely. Lonely is where we grow the most.
BRIANNA PASTORTo cry means that you are feeling as much as you possibly can in that moment and that is exactly what I mean when I say you are alive.
BRIANNA PASTORI can finally cry and let it be relief. My tears can be my medicine and not my poison.
BRIANNA PASTORDo you see who I am beyond your judgment? I lay with my core, and there is a force in there.
BRIANNA PASTORWhen the world cries I cry. and when the world sings I still find myself crying.
BRIANNA PASTORYou always told me that I was the child with one foot out the door. But, did you ever consider that it was for my own safety?
BRIANNA PASTORDon’t fear it. That pull between your heart and mind. It is trying to teach you. It is learning your language.
BRIANNA PASTORI must be worth something if my heart thinks so.
