Look at how far you’ve come. Look at how much you’ve grown. If I don’t tell you enough that I am so proud, I need you to know that I am. If I don’t tell you enough that I love you, I need you to know that I do. You have grown a backbone where your wishbone used to be. You have learned how to say no, you have learned how to walk away. Do you remember when they broke you? It felt like life as you knew it was over. It felt like your ribcage cracked apart. You have rebuilt yourself; you have stitched loss into gain, sadness into joy. But you, the one who has always loved deeply and fiercely, the one who was always soft; you hardened as you worked brick by brick to make yourself unbreakable. You don’t need to be a fortress to be strong. You don’t need to build walls to keep yourself safe. Open the windows, let the breeze breathe life into your bones. Go outside, touch the earth with your bare hands, remind yourself how it feels to plant the seeds of love and watch them bloom into something beautiful. Water those flowers well; your garden will reawaken in the sun. 🤍 I am so proud of you. Thank you for being you. I love you. X Poem and caption can be found in my poetry book, Evergreen.

Throughout your life, people will say you are “too”— too sensitive too strong too emotional too intense too trusting too forgiving too reserved too loud too proud too nervous too confident too driven too open too heartbroken too happy too mad too sad too much But these are the things that make you uniquely, exquisitely you Ignore the people who say you are “too”— No one ever said a sunset was too beautiful They simply said it was beautiful 💚 From my poetry book, Evergreen. If you’d like to make it your own, you can find this poem and more through my bio.🌿 Thank you for being you. I love you.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” — @mariannewilliamson I see you. I love you. Thank you for being you.

"In a world full of people with closed off hearts, it has become far too easy to let ourselves turn hard.

So i hope you find the strength to stay soft. Because being open, being vulnerable, being willing to still let people in - it takes courage. It takes being brave. Hell, to stay soft in world that is telling you night and day to be anything but, that's not weakness, at all. To risk pain and heartache and rejection, time and time again - it's one of the strongest things you can possibly do. To stay soft is one the most difficult yet beautifully rewarding things you will ever do in your life." -

“Stop apologizing for being who you are.” “But who is that? Some days, I don’t even know.” “You are human.⁣ You are messy and imperfect and you make mistakes.⁣ You walk around with question marks in your eyes on days like today, looking for answers in someone else.⁣ But the answers are already inside of you.⁣ ⁣ Yes, you are messy — but there’s a method to your madness, and that is a love so large it was never meant to be drawn within the lines.⁣ Yes, you are imperfect — but your quirks and cracks are the things that make you so astoundingly, breathtakingly you.⁣ Yes, you make mistakes — but there is something spectacular in the way you don’t let it take you down; you get back up every time you fall, you come back wiser for it.⁣ ⁣ And if being a strong yet soft human with a hopeful heart isn’t something worth being unapologetic about — then I don’t know what is.” Thank you for being you.
