After all these years, one thing I've learnt about the universe that it will always hold my hand.

my life is nowhere near where i want it to be but i still just feel so grateful to be here right now. to show up most days trying my best to just make it happen for myself. the rough days make me appreciate the radiant ones. i pray i can give myself the life i feel i deserve.

Never ask yourself why they left. Or why it didn't work out. Ask yourself why did you stay. And why did you put so much effort into someone who probably never cared.

There’s no such thing as giving someone a
‘second chance’ when they come back. They
must earn a second chance. They need to show
you that they won’t repeat the same mistakes,
they should gain your trust again, and if they
hurt you one more time — then you must let
them go. Do not give someone a second
chance as though your heart is something that
you carry on your sleeve, valuable enough
only to hand out for free to anyone who asks
for it, let them earn a second chance, only
then will they be able to see just what your
heart is worth. Only then will they be able to
see just what your love is worth.

it's ok to choose quietness over disturbing your own peace by arguing. it's ok to say no without explaining. it's ok to distance yourself from people who feed on your energy. it's ok to not give everyone access to your heart. it's ok to lose people over tolerating disrespect.

just because you always heal on your own doesn't mean you deserve pain.

as I grew older, I learned that the key to surviving the day isn't positivity, it's acceptance. accepting that not all days are good and happy, you will have bad days, you make mistakes, you fail, you mess up, everything's not going to fall into place and that's okay.

• Stop being sad about your past,
• Stop reading old text messages,
• Stop trying to be someone you're not,
• Stop trying to impress others
• Stop believing that social media acceptance determines your self worth,
• Stop hating your skin

i've always adored quiet people. you never know if they're dancing in a daydream or if they're carrying the weight of the world.

your growth is not always visible to others and it's okay. you are still growing. you have healed from everything that used to trigger you, that is growth. you are always available for yourself, that is growth. you know who you need to protect your peace from, that is growth.

I don’t believe in " you have to be officially healed to be in a relationship " because it doesn’t exist. There is always time for self-reflection, learning better habits, and working on yourself — and sometimes, love, affection, genuine care or a relationship can also amplify you to do that even more.

the right person, the wrong time.
the right script, the wrong line.
the right poem, the wrong rhyme.
and a piece of you..
that was never mine.

i used to think communication was the key until i realized comprehension is. you can communicate all you want with someone but if they don’t understand you or refuse to understand, communication is useless.

If you can fit your love on the palm of your hand. Then fit it. And give it to someone who deserves it. And if not. Then please, by all means, give it to yourself.

The day you find yourself, you will realise that lovers are not meant to take you on a journey but walk alongside you, they're not meant to fulfil you but appreciate how complete you are in yourself. Lovers are not meant to break your heart each day, and they're not meant to make you feel unworthy or unloved. The day you find yourself, you will realise how incredibly magnificent you are imperfect, yes, but - filled with so much goodness and light that you will strive to be even better each day. The day you find yourself will be the most beautiful day.

it's rough when you’re going through things alone. no one in your life can relate so you don’t feel comfortable telling them. you just sit there in mental agony until you’re numb. but trust me when I say that you'll get over it soon

if you could erase all the mistakes of your past, you would also erase the wisdom of your present. remember the lessons not the disappointments.

Remember. Arguing a lot is not normal. Arguing over nothing is not normal. Arguing for days. Weeks. Months. Over the same thing. IS NOT NORMAL. Remember. There are healthy arguments & there are unhealthy ones. Know the difference. and know when to listen, when to speak your mind & when to ignore and leave
