“It’s heavy isn’t it but you are stronger for it.”

Soft is the magic you seek. Soft is the beautiful in everything.

Hold close everything that makes you unique.

I’m brave in feeling, if nothing else.

If I’m honest I will never love anyone the way that I love you.

Whatever makes you feel the sun from the inside out chase that.

I can’t wipe the missing you from my eyes.

I have no purpose. I’m just light and art and love.

I guess it’s true, goodbyes aren’t just endings but beginnings too.

How is it in my sleep I still miss you.

Sometimes the light gets in and I’m more than this skin.

It will only get heavier the longer you carry it.

You cannot become unbreakable if you have never been broken.

Soft hearts bleed kindness, like broken hearts bleed love.

With you in my arms I forget the pain in my heart.

I will wait for you like a star until I burn out too.

Let love be the reason you do the things that you do.

It takes more courage to send men into battle than to fight the battle yourself.

I don’t like being stagnant. I want to continue to grow and just be better at what I do, and the only way to do that is to keep stepping outside of your comfort zone.

A coward’s courage is in his tongue.

The conquest of fear yields the courage of life. That is the cardinal initiation of every heroic adventure– fearlessness and achievement.

To get to this place of a warrior’s courage, we must give up the stories that have ruled our lives and shatter the self-image we created to affirm our story.

It often requires more courage to suffer in silence than to rebel, more courage not to strike back than to retaliate, more courage to be silent than to speak.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

A part of me died on the battlefield and a part of me was born. Vulnerability shed like peeling skin. Trust from my core was torn. I was caught between a disassembled heart and a young and fearful mind. I made peace with these pieces as I fell apart with the courage that I made mine.
