“You are a battlefield. Never will there be a greater war than the one you hold with yourself.”

If you are in love and the love is returned, be grateful. Because if you take love for granted, it will be overturned.

Words become trapped in your mind if you don’t free them. Write them down, speak them, share.

You have every right to love your solitude. Being alone doesn’t always mean you are lonely.

You are allowed to outgrow someone. If the river parts ways, you can forge your own path to the sea.

There is beauty in the chaos of living

I know life doesn’t play out like the movies. But I want a happy ending with you.

Of all the tragedies on this earth, there is none more tragic than a person who cannot see their worth.

One day you are ordering coffee every morning and the next you can’t even order coffee without thinking about ordering theirs too.

You spend your whole life convincing yourself you are a chapter worth following, and then someone comes along and doesn’t want to read the ending, and suddenly the whole story falls apart.

Some moments have to happen so they may shape you, teach you, undo you, and remake you.

Be kind to yourself, the way you would be to someone you love.

The aches in my arms still surprise me, even years after letting you go.

When you take a lover who uncovers all your flaws, listens to the very essence of who you are and embraces you rather than judges you, hold on to this love for a lifetime, as you will never find a love quite as pure.

I think if you let me, I’d build an observatory just to show you that all the stars in the universe will never shine as brightly as you.

Then I am reminded that life will continue on, regardless of whether I choose to board the train or stay on the platform.

By existing you are planting softness in soil that has turned hard. There is no need to surrender your existence. You are doing just fine by even existing at all.
