“You taught me how to be kind, generous, honest, truthful, trustworthy, authentic, by simply being yourself.”

Can I doubt the shape of the earth? Can I judge a minute for lasting sixty seconds, a day for being grey or cold and leaves for falling from trees? Can I speak too loud when I am angry or stay quiet when I disagree? Can I forget about the norms and make some of my own?

When I lost hope, hope came and found me, when I stopped believing in faith, faith believed in me.

You grow stronger after heartbreak like the pouring rain nourishes trees, flowers, the earth, instead of making them drown. Like painful tears make your heart stronger after every drop.

When we lose a piece of love we were holding so close to our heart and our soul for so long. We sometimes wonder if it will return the same or differently or has it fallen beneath the settling of our past.

When I thought I lost everything, all I lost were old stories, the ones that didn’t belong within me anymore. Perhaps, it wasn’t that I lost anything, It’s that I was getting rid of what was no longer right for me.

Set my soul on fire by lighting up the flames of lust that makes the inside of me burn for love.

One of the most incredible feelings is feeling at home through places, people, within yourself, and who you are.

When we lose a piece of love we were holding so close to our heart and our soul for so long. We sometimes wonder if it will return the same or differently or has it fallen beneath the settling of our past.

I am in transition between who I was, who I am, who I want to become what I left behind and where I am looking ahead.

Have you ever felt as you had everything all the love in the world when you were completely alone and only had yourself?

When you left, you set me free of pain. A pain I didn’t know I carried in me, until then.

I thought about leaving because of our differences, but I loved the way you lived your life, and that was enough to make me fall in love.

I worked hard, day after day, evening upon evening, trying to impress others I’d forgotten I impressed myself.

You little star that shines so bright you make the whole sky look glorious from a million miles away.

Fear of loss when everything falls upon us and crushes a bit of our soul, deep in our veins where broken hopes live. How do I find my strength beneath endless layers of horrifying thoughts?

I hope you know, you are worth so much more, than they ever made you feel.

I believe that transgender people, including those who have transitioned, are living out real, authentic lives. Those lives should be celebrated, not questioned. Their health care decisions should be theirs and theirs alone to make.

Be faithful that your authentic power is all you need to truly share your light with the world.

Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.

Learning always involves self-transcendence. Learning calls forth what is in us, helping us to move toward authenticity and wholeness.

An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love.

Your devotion to God is illustrated, demonstrated, and authenticated by your love for others.

Without authenticity you are nothing.

It’s possible to be all the parts of you that live in your heart, brain, and body. Not divided into containers. A giant messy wait of authenticity. Where you are all the things. All the time.
