A Gentle Reminder

I hope you have the courage to go deeper. To never exist on the surface of your life, even if it’s easier or more convenient.

You are not afraid of being without it, because you know that you will always have yourself.

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.

The right person will choose you just as deeply as you choose them. You will not have to quiet the way you care, you will never feel like you are too much. You will not have to beg for the love you deserve

You deserve to be loved the way you love others.

I hope you have the courage to find the things in life that ignite you and deepen your understanding of the world and those within it.

hope you have the courage to move forward. I hope you have the courage to walk away with grace.

I hope you have the courage to nurture your pain, to not disregard it or sweep it under the rug of distraction or convenience

I hope you have the courage to sit down with your demons, to befriend them; to look them in the face and to not feel fear.

I hope you have the courage to keep loving deeply in a world that sometimes fails to do so
