“Here to remind you that slow healing is still healing. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”

I know my truths. I know exactly why I am the way I am and I’m secure with it. There’s not a single soul that can ever shame or guilt trip me into making me feel and think otherwise.

I have found that confiding in someone who loves you unconditionally to be extremely healing. A safe place to share and release.

There’s shift happening. You are moving through something; which explains why you have been slower and more withdrawn than usual.

Stop giving anger power in your life.

I want virtue, honesty, love and compassion. From myself and for myself.

Strong woman still need their hands held.

The older I get, the less I care for superficial joys and cheap displays of nothingness. If it’s not meaningful and of substance, I don’t want it.

It’s really me vs me. Everything else is just unwarranted noise.

I have never in my life been more eager to welcome change. Surviving a transition of this magnitude feels powerful.

There is no shame in having a mental illness. Where you fall short is not a direct reflection of who you are.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but forgive yourself.

Getting so deep in the process of creating the life I want for myself, so I’m turning out anything/ anyone that doesn’t align with my vision.

I’ll never get tired of asking god to guide me.

I truly believe every unfortunate experience holds within it a blessing of some kind.

Self Love really is the only rule. All the other forms of love are just manifestations of it.

I am more interested in the woman I aspire to be, as opposed to the things I desire to have. By the time I am her, I’ll already have everything she could possibly want and need.

Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It’s harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.

The secret is not to give up hope. It’s very hard not to because if you’re really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.

I’m choosing faith over worry even though its hard.

I’m very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I’m that cookie-cutter. I don’t live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there’s no paparazzi there.

Heaven… I’m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.

Twitter is like hugging. Just because it’s hard to measure the return on investment doesn’t mean there isn’t value there.

It’s hard to find true love in the age of digital sex.

Your life is not going to be easy, and it should not be easy. It ought to be hard. It ought to be radical; it ought to be restless; it ought to lead you to places you’d rather not go.
