Sometimes you have to give people a taste of their own medicine

The most beautiful things in life are not just things. They are people and places, memories and pictures, they are feelings, and moments, smiles, and laughter.

I no longer allow people to cause chaos within my life. I learned that I am deserving of peace. That I do not have to ask for love. I learned that I am allowed to choose who I want around me, and who I never want near me. This life is the only thing that is truly mine, and I refuse to feel guilty for wanting tranquility.

Worry about your character, not your reputation. Your character is who you are. Your reputation is who people think you are.

Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of different perspectives? Because if not, there is absolutely no point.

If the Universe removed you from a table where you used to sit it's because you were being saved from the poison they were serving.

When someone is pushing you to be better it's not an attack, it's an act of love.

Mature enough to admit that I've had some toxic traits myself, I treated people bad when I wasn't happy, I've hurt people because I was hurting, owning up to being the bad guy is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do I hate being wrong but I'm working on me & being better

If you ever throw my insecurity in my face or something traumatic that I've overcome, youre no longer welcome in my life.

You're overthinking because you really care what happens next-you don't want to fail, and you don't want to let people down. But no amount of planning, worrying, or over-analyzing can give you control over what happens next. Breathe. Loosen your grip. Experience life as it comes.

Only the disciplined ones in life are free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions.

As soon as you die, your identity becomes a "body". People use phrases like, "bring the body," "lower the body to the grave yard," etc. People don't even call you by your name. Don't try to impress people, live a life to impress the creator not the creation.

It eventually gets better, without any sort of explanation; you just wake up one morning and you’re not as upset anymore.

Promises: We make them, We break them. Memories: We make them, But they break us.

You see a person's true colors when you are no longer beneficial to their life.

I no longer force things. What flows, flows. What crashes, crashes. I only have space and energy for the things that are meant for me.

Love them where they are. If someone is falling behind in life, you don't have to remind them. They already know. If someone is unhealthy, they know. If someone is struggling with relationships, with money, with self- image… they know. It's what consumes their thoughts each day. What you need to do for those who are in that place is not to reprimand, but to encourage. To tell them what's good about their lives, to show them the potential within them that you see. What you need to do is love them where they are. When we can't see clearly for ourselves, we need others to speak greatness over us. People don't need you to tell them what's wrong with their lives - they already know. They need you to reassure them that they can still make it right.

This is me accepting that sometimes beautiful things end. This is me understanding that there is nothing I can say, or do, to fix that. This is me coming to terms with the fact that sometimes leaving is an act of love, too. That sometimes you have to walk away from something soft and hauntingly real, that sometimes hearts don't align. But this is me accepting that endings don't have to be messy. This is me understanding how incredible it really is - that for a moment in time, in a world of billions, two strangers were in the right place, at the right time, and something transpired between them. This is my heart swelling with the thought that at one point in time, we were the lucky ones. At one point in time, we beat the odds.

If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.

In the right spaces, you will be heard without shouting. You will be seen without showing your wounds. You will be understood without changing who you are. You can be yourself without any need to alter your identity.

I love those moments when I realize that I'm handling a situation better than a previous version of myself would have been able to. I love conversations with myself when I realize that the self-work has been working. I love realizing that I've grown.

Grief is very sneaky. A sound. A scent. A song. A smile becomes tears.

It's like you made flowers grow in my lungs and although they are beautiful i cannot breathe anymore.

Maybe a lot of love gets lost in the translation between what we feel and what we say.
