I didn’t think that I’d make it to 21. Now I’m 27 and it’s a little awkward.
There are things that I was taught, things that taught me and things that I am learning. There are things that I was given, things that I picked up along the way, things that I felt and things that felt me. There are things that are becoming and things that are becoming me.
Here are 27 of some of those things:
1. Morning is the best part of my day – every day is day one.
2. Speaking things into existence isn’t enough. You have to, do things into existence. Manifest your thoughts into actions.
3. What you give your voice to, is important. What you give your silence to, is almost just as important.
4. Just because I haven’t felt snow yet. It doesn’t mean that I don’t know that it exists.
5. Loving someone who hates themselves is some other kind of pain.
6. Rihanna is perfect.
7. Anaïs Nin was right, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
8. Sometimes you have to let go; to hold onto yourself
9. Morning is the worst part of my day – every day is another day.
10. The idea of living in the present is hindered by the anxiety of the future and the depression of the past.
11. I care more about being kind than being nice.
12. You need to learn to remind yourself to say and believe, “I am enough” and “I deserve”
13. Life is long. Life is short.
14. Some people come into your life and highlight your loneliness.
15. There are words that I’m not too fond of. “Might” is one of them. It’s such a dangerous word.
16. Love, like people, are fleeting things.
17. If you can’t change the situation. Change yourself.
18. Make room for you in yourself.
19. My healing is stronger than my pain. It has to be.
20. Learn to let go of forever. Learn to live in it.
21. Still learning to wrap myself in
intention, impact, forgiveness, and release.
22. I use “empty” and “lonely” interchangeably.
23. Radical love will return you to yourself.
24. Life moves on; with or without you.
25. Don’t hurt yourself on the edges of broken promises.
26. Falling asleep is difficult but waking up is painful.
27. We’re given love with the fear of heartbreak. Love anyway.
