I must change my life so that I can live it, not wait for it.

There is within each one of us a potential for goodness beyond our imagining; for giving which seeks no reward; for listening without judgment; for loving unconditionally.”

Wow it’s been a long time. Life feels like it’s been turned up side down...

Sorry for being gone forever. Kinda feels like coming home after being gone for years...

Self-sabotage is knowing exactly what you need to do to improve but not doing it. It’s procrastinating doing the very things that you know will make you happier. It’s waiting till things are 100% perfect till you do them, but that of course never happens. It’s remaining in the comfort zone because of the fear of failure or uneasiness of change. It’s a mindset that you may be completely unaware of until you really think about it. So think about it. Are you a prisoner of your own thoughts? If you are, take responsibility and acknowledge you put yourself into that prison. But know that you have the power to free yourself.

Integrate what you believe into every single area of your life. Take your heart to work, and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.

Every day you wake up is a second chance. A day to forgive. To love. To heal. To try. To choose life. Maybe you don’t think you deserve a second chance or you don’t feel strong enough to reach for it – take it anyway. Grab that second chance with whatever strength and courage remains in you. This is it love. Today, tomorrow – however many days you get to wake up is all you have. Make something more than brokenness out of your time here. Today is a second chance; make the most of it.

With love,

Powerful women do not have to act masculine or cold in order to get things done. Powerful women can be huggers who name their dog Lamby and make flower crowns in their free time.

"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.”

Listen to me: you are going to be okay, you are going to get through this day, you are going to do a hell of a lot more than just survive for the rest of your life. You are going to create beautiful things. You are going to love and be loved. You are going to touch the lives of people you don’t even know. You are going to shine a light so bright that the darkness cannot do anything but bow down to you. This feeling of not being good enough is not your identity. It’s a feeling, a very powerful feeling, but nonetheless just a feeling. Do not let it overpower the truth that you were, are, and will always be a marvelous human being. You are a wonderful work of art. You are radiant and so beautiful. I love you far too much to let you stay in this place of despair. I’m not going to let you sink down into those dark depths again. This is me reminding you that you are a precious and powerful warrior. You are here to love and be loved. Your life matters every single second of every single day. You are never ever a burden or waste of space. You will know victory over the storms that try to drown your joy. You will triumph over your enemy even if it’s the face you greet in the mirror. You will not be destroyed by this feeling of unworthiness. Listen up my love — you are magnificent. You are full of so much meaning and importance. Your story cannot be told by anyone else but you. We need you. We need you. We need you We need you. We need you. We need you. We need you. Don’t give up. Don’t let go. Don’t back down. Don’t stop trying. Don’t lose hope. Don’t try to handle it alone. Don’t forget that you are precious. I love you. I am with you. You are never ever alone.

With love,

Dele

In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows), you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. I shall not leave you.

Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside.

Loving someone is a choice, it’s a decision that you have to make every day. Some days it will be really easy, most days you won’t even have think about it. But some days it’s going to be really hard, some days you’ll have to let go of your pride, selfishness, ambition and vanity to put them first. But if you love them, you’ll know it’s a choice worth making. Because once you make that choice, fights that would crumble old relationships seem to be constructive. Insecurities that would have ripped you apart before become something you no longer care about, because when you truly love somebody, that choice becomes an easier one to make. So when you wake up, choose love, and when you go to sleep, choose love. Choose your partner every day, just as they would choose you.

We are afraid to talk about what hurts because talking requires breath and there are certain memories we’d rather suffocate. Perhaps this is the reason we write, because sometimes, words breathe better than we can.

I think there are pieces of yourself that you will always guard.

14 things that I have learned in 2014 … 1. Pain is inevitable. There are going to be days when you are shivering from sadness, but I can assure you that ripping yourself open doesn’t release your demons. 2. People are going to leave you like it’s the easiest fucking thing in the World. They are going to walk away with no explanation. Don’t beg for them to stay in your life, they have already shown you that they have no place in your life. Accept it. 3. Fuck who you want, when you want. Let people talk about it. They don’t like sex? That’s their problem not yours. You aren’t a whore - you are a human being respecting your body by doing what YOU want to do. 4. Be careful who you have sex with. In all honesty, you probably aren’t ready. He may tell you he wants you, but that doesn’t mean he wants to be with you. He probably doesn’t know how to fuck you right anyways. 5. High school is a bunch of bullshit that is going to make you stay up until 2 a.m. doing some bullshit assignment. There are going to be days when your anxiety is so bad that you find yourself biting your nails so much they bleed. You are going to have days when you run in the bathroom crying because you are overwhelmed with all of the work. Take a day off once in awhile. Hell, take off a week. Let yourself breathe. We often forget to do that. 6. Some days you aren’t going to be able to get out of bed. Stay there. Stay there and cry. Let yourself fall apart. 7. Take a night off from going out. You don’t need to get drunk and make out with some random guy who is going to touch you places we both know he shouldn’t be. You do that every weekend. Be spontaneous; make some tea and cuddle with an old stuffed animal you forgot you had and watch a movie you’ve never seen before. 8. People you love are going to die. Everyday is going to sting a little bit more and it gets a lot harder to breathe. You are going to scream at your ceiling, and ask why God has to be such a son-of-a-bitch because all you want is your brother to hold you. His absence may make you want to die, but live for him. Live for the people you love and you’ve lost. Make them proud. 9. Boys are going to destroy you. You’re going to question your worth and your ability to be loved after they stop calling you. Just keep in mind that it’s not you, it’s them. There’s something seriously wrong with someone who can’t accept love from you when you both know he needs it. 10. Go stick your toes in the sand and listen to the waves. Leave your phone at home, just focus on yourself and the World. It’s one of the most powerful connections you will ever have. 11. Stop saying you hate your mom. She loves you with her entire heart. She is the one that wipes your black tears from your face when you think the World is falling apart. One day she isn’t going to be here anymore, she won’t be able to hold you anymore. Remember that. 12. Your “friends” are going to talk about you behind your back. They are going to point out the things that you hate about yourself. Remove them from your life, you would rather have 3 great friends than 100 shitty friends. And be a good friend. Be friendly. Smile at people who have fire in their eyes. You could save a life but just telling someone to have a good day. You never know what someone is going through. If you’ve seemed to lose the good people, be a good person. 13. If you can’t afford the nicest clothes, that’s okay. Everyone is so materialistic these days. Focus on making yourself into a good person as opposed to who’s looking at you. In a couple years you’re going to forget about 99% of these peoples’ names. Who the fuck cares if they like what you’re wearing now? Be comfy. Be cozy. Clothes are clothes. 14. Stop hating yourself. If you weren’t meant to be on this Earth, you wouldn’t be. Repeat that to yourself. If you weren’t meant to be on this Earth, you wouldn’t be. You are here and you are breathing. Sometimes you may question if you’re still alive, but this is your answer. You are so beautiful and you are so wonderful. Love yourself. People can’t fix you. Vodka can’t fix you. Drugs can’t fix you. Cigarettes can’t fix you. That fuck boy can’t fix you. BUT; You can fix you. This is only the beginning, baby. Your story is just starting. It’s going to be a bumpy ride, you’re going to crash a burn sometimes. That’s okay. We all do. Don’t forget that.
