“In a world where we are constantly told self love is the key, it’s okay to not love yourself. There is no shame in looking for love within and not finding it.”

When we express gratitude for even the smallest of things we tell the universe we are ready for more.

I do not fear death, I fear a life unlived.

Just because the world requires you to be tough doesn’t mean you can’t be gentle with yourself.

It is not your job to fix people. I know your heart aches to see people you love in pain. But it is not your job to make their burden your own – that is not your path.

Self love is not only loving the parts of yourself you deem beautiful, but also the parts you’d rather hide away knowing they are all deserving.

It is not your fault for falling in love with the wrong person. It is easy to mistake familiarity for love, if the love you received as a child was flawed.

If you want people to love you for who you are, then you need to love them for who they are without expecting them to change.

The judgement that people cast on you for how you do or do not appear is nothing more than just a projection of their own wounds.

I hope you’re brave enough to let go of a future that was never truly yours, that you never really wanted that was imposed upon you by dreams that were never really your own.

And just like that she became soft with every exhale.

Feeling lost is a sign that you’re finally listening to yourself and no longer conforming to what is expected of you.

Letting go creates the space we need to welcome our wildest manifestations.

You’ll know you’ve healed when you find gratitude in the pain that once broke you.

Maybe this time isn’t about finding love but rather learning how to enjoy your own company instead.

Maybe the lesson is not how best to chase the things we think will make us happy, but learning to be happy wherever we are instead.

Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.

Don’t think I’m going off to find myself though. I already know who I am.

I am not a person you will find twice.

Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.

You can find beauty in the darkest of places. Be the light, my love. Bring smiles to their faces.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to “die before you die” and find that there is no death.

You can meet me at local beach. I am waiting for you so that we can find ourselves together between the beach and Heaven.

Art is about trying to find the good in people and making the world a more compassionate place.

Those who don’t appreciate pain won’t find a way out of it.
