We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is part we choose to act on . That's who we really are
On days where doubt creeps in,
remember you are your power.
you’re worth everything you’re
working towards and you’re
capable of reaching those dreams
that feel like they’re beyond the
stars. it’s only a matter of time
until you look back and thank yourself
for not settling, for not giving up,
and for treating yourself with
respect and kindness.
fight the good fight, but remember to
breathe. the magic is within you.
The healing is not the destruction. It is not the day you
know it is finally time to uproot your life. It is not the
moment you tell someone they are no longer welcome, it is
not the hours you spend decluttering, it is not the minute
you walk away. The healing is how you gradually allow your
soul to drip into your days again. It is how you show up
more fully now that the debris is cleared, and the roads
are unblocked, and your life is once again renewed and
refreshed and freed. It was never about whether or not
you had the courage to light fire to what was, it was
whether or not you were willing to plant a seed in its place,
and to grow what was always meant to be.
You can fight with everything you have. You can hold on for as long as you can. You can force yourself into mental gymnastics to pick apart signs. You can have your friends read into texts and emails. You can decide that you know what’s best for you and right for you. Mostly, you can wait.
You can wait forever.
What isn’t right for you will never remain in your life.
There is no job, person, or city that you can force to be right for you if it is not, though you can pretend for a while. You can play games with yourself, you can justify and make ultimatums. You can say you’ll try just a little longer, and you can make excuses for why things aren’t working out right now.
The truth is that what is right for you will come to you and stay with you and won’t stray from you for long. The truth is that when something is right for you, it brings you clarity, and when something is wrong for you, it brings you confusion.
You get stuck when you try to make something that’s wrong for you right. When you try to force it into a place in your life in which it doesn’t belong. You get split; you breed this internal conflict which you cannot resolve. The more it intensifies, the more you mistake it for passion. How could you ever feel so strongly about something that isn’t right?
You made me feel human again.
Your touch, your laughter, your
breath, everything showed me what
it is like to be a person:
a living. breathing person.
You came into my life at a time
when I thought everything was
against me, everything would kill
me. You showed me everything I had
to live and fight for.
In that short period I called you
mine. You made me feel like there
were galaxies in my veins and like
the stars made their home in my
eyes.
I’ll forever be grateful to the
universe for bringing you to me.
and at the same time I’ll never
forgive it for taking you away.
It’s ok to not have answers.
It’s ok to not be strong.
It’s ok to do nothing at all.
It’s ok, so ok, to be wrong.
It’s ok to just be you.
It’s ok to lose a game or fight.
It’s ok to take a nap.
It’s ok to cry in bed at night.
It’s ok to go your own way.
It’s ok to play for fun.
It’s ok to fail a test.
It’s ok to not be number one.
It’s ok to be alone.
It’s ok to make a mistake.
It’s ok to stare out a window.
It’s ok to need a break.
When I was young so long ago
here’s something I wish I knew-
When the world says, Listen to me
It’s ok to listen to you.
