Life is a mess - yes, but my god, is it ever a beautiful one.

You have to believe that your ideas, and your hope, and your being, deserve to take up space.

Even the strongest souls gets exhausted.

You deserve to be loved and chosen - not almost, or almost chosen.

No one will ever fully be able to understand the internal battles you had to endure just to heal, just to grow, just to make it here today. Be proud of the way you fought to save yourself. Be proud of the way you survived.

Forgive yourself for the way you held yourself back because you didn’t believe in your own potential, because you didn’t believe in your capacity to take up space.

There is a resounding level of bravery to be found in being the person who believes in the light, even when they cannot see it.

You have to keep doing the work — not just physically, but emotionally. You have to learn about who you are, you have to understand what you deeply value, what ignites your soul, what makes you want to get up in the morning, and you have to choose that every single day.

You will not find a love that is perfect, but you will find a love that reminds you that goodness exists.

No, you will not find a love that is perfect — but you will find a love that reminds you just how worthy you always were. This love, it will show you that you were never asking for too much.

Because at the end of the day, the right people fight for you. The right people show up. The right people care, not only when life is convenient, but when it is difficult and messy and it aches all over.
