- Life is not meant to be spent numb and neutral. If that was so, then we would not have advanced and survived this long as humans. We would have no reason to continue.
- The fact that you are alive today, as someone who has gone through most pain untold, is an achievement that you should acknowledge.
- Bitter truths and circumstances will feel easier on the soul if you simply give yourself time to face it, accept it and move forward through it regardless.
- Even plants won’t be able to grow if there isn’t a seed, if there are no roots, nothing to stem from — emotions are the same way. Anger, emptiness, frustration…negative emotions exist within us for a reason. Don’t disregard or invalidate your feelings. It’s healthy for everyone to try digging into the soil from time to time, and weed out what’s no longer helping you flourish like you should. A little gardening never hurt anyone.
- I consider grief as one of the final bosses in the human experience. Once you survive it, live through it, continue to love despite it — close to nothing can stop and break you.
- Cherish the people you love unabashedly. As we continue to grow older each year, and stray more to follow our own paths, we have less and less time to spend with our loved ones – make every moment a memory you can fondly reminisce someday.
- Time truly is the most valuable thing in this universe.
- The little moments do matter. That conversation you had one afternoon can change the trajectory of your life.
- Your existence is not any less special than other people on this earth. You are just as precious as every star, planet, speck and particle in this universe. No more and no less.
- Hand yourself the power to save yourself instead of giving it to someone else. You always have it, but most of the time we’re too caught up waiting for someone who cares enough to pass it down to.
- There is something so powerful about detaching yourself from the future, and trusting the universe, the present moment, and most especially yourself to naturally lead you to your desires.
- Your conscious decisions will get you there eventually.
- We need to constantly relearn that love is never the enemy.
- Wether you believe you can do it or you can’t — you’re right. You live in the reality you choose to live in.
- “I trust the universe knows what’s best for me.” is one of the most powerful thoughts you can possess in moments of weakness. As they always say, trust the process.
- Always remember your core. Why you’re here, and why you should choose yourself everyday.
- Nothing that’s meant to settle into your life will make you struggle to keep it around.
- People that come easy, that choose to stay and feel secure are gifts. Treasure them well.
- Your fears are holding you back more than keeping you ‘safe’.
- Keep your doors open. Just no free entry.
- Meet people, listen to their stories — connecting with others is one of the keys that can connect you with yourself.
- If you think about it, 90% of the things we once wished for are now ours, even the most insignificant things. I hope we find comfort and reassurance in that.
- Everyone has a face they never show anyone, and that’s just us being human.
- All the energy that you give and take, they’ll all come back to you in order to balance the universe’s scale. Move wisely.
- Love always comes back. In different ways, in different forms, in its almost funny destined course of surprising us. Look forward to it.
