“There’s magic in people who aren’t afraid to be a little weird, sometimes messy, but always real. They choose to shine their light instead of dimming it to fit in.
These are the rare souls who bring sunshine with them wherever they go, and who can trip over their own feet and call it a dance. They’ve realized that a secret to living a life of joy is to embrace being a hot mess of happiness instead of trying to be perfect.”

“To be bold is to humble yourself. To be bold is to embrace your intuition and what speaks to you on a deep level - even if what it tells you changes as you grow. It’s to tune out the noise and reinvent yourself in the face of pressure to remain the same or become something that is not authentic to you. To be bold is to be imperfect. To be bold is to surrender to the ebb and flow of life - both inside and out. To be bold is to embrace being imperfect and incomplete.”

“At the end of the day, it's the person who makes you feel like you’re exactly where you belong.
It's the person who makes it clear you’re their first and only choice. It's the person whose love language is treating you right.”

“Be proud of healing your wounds instead of spreading the pain. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of the kindness you offer without expecting anything in return. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of sharing your sunshine with those who need it, even when you need it most. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of holding onto your gentle spirit even when others see it as weakness. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of your empathy that heals wounds instead of creating them. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of feeling deeply in a world that can be indifferent. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of your eagerness to see the good in others. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of having oddities that bring color to the world and make life more interesting. Not everyone does that.
Be proud of remaining true to yourself in a world that tries to shape you. Not everyone does that.”

“The entire point of life is to take chances on dreams that seem crazy to most but feel like destiny to you.
The entire point of life is to make your belief in goodness so strong that joy gets drawn to your light.
The entire point of life is to be the kind of happy that needs no explanation and is as loud or quiet as you want it to be.
The entire point of life is to be just a little bit kinder than you need to be and trust the universe to take care of the rest.
The entire point of life is to be too busy celebrating how hot and funny you are to compare yourself to others.
The entire point of life is not to always know where you’re going, it’s to trust that you’ll end up where you belong.
The entire point of life is to love yourself so fiercely that the world can’t help but love you back.”

“Have you ever been called “too much?” Too ambitious? Too independent? Too sensitive? Too difficult? Too bold? Maybe you are “too much” but maybe that’s exactly who you’re supposed to be? Maybe the beauty of your life comes from what your “too muchness” gives you? That’s making music or art simply because you want to. It’s pursuing what makes you curious. It’s replacing “maybe” with “definitely.” It’s listening to other people’s stories, learning new cultures, and tasting new foods. It’s introducing yourself to new people and realizing your dreams aren’t unrealistic as you once thought. It’s opening your heart and letting new kinds of love in. It’s striving to be whole, not perfect. Life can be messy but being “too much” is what makes it a beautiful mess.”

“There's something so beautiful about people who have tasted bitterness but are still determined to savor the sweetness life has to offer. You can sense it in their presence. They have a sense of calm warmth and they refuse to let life take from them. I love these kinds of people - people who have stayed gentle in a world that tried to harden them. They've known darkness but still offer their light to others. Their kindness is real and genuine, never a tactic or a strategy.”

“I've found so much peace in letting go of what didn’t work out because now I know I deserve better.
I've found so much peace in accepting that the universe has better plans for me than I could’ve ever imagined.
I've found so much peace in letting go of “supposed to be” timing and just flowing with life.
I've found so much peace appreciating the role someone played in my story, without wanting a different ending.
I've found so much peace saying NO without an apology and YES without regret.
I've found so much peace in trusting my intuition, even when it goes against the grain.
I've found so much peace in choosing myself, even when it means walking alone.
I've found so much peace in celebrating endings as new beginnings.”

Life doesn’t end when what you thought was your destination turns out to be a detour. That’s when better things fall into place.”

“One day the tables turn. You’re living your dream life, and those who said you couldn't are stuck in their own excuses.
One day the tables turn. You wake up in a home you love, bought with the money they said you'd never make.
One day the tables turn. You go from feeling like a backup plan to being someone's first and only choice.
One day the tables turn. You’re leaving footprints around the world, and those who doubted you are still trapped in their comfort zones.
One day the tables turn. You’re celebrated for your uniqueness, and those who mocked you are now trying to copy your style.
One day the tables turn. You’re surrounded by genuine love, and those who played with your heart are left alone with their regret.
One day the tables turn. You find true happiness, and those who once undermined your joy are stuck in their own discontent.”

“Sometimes people will call you "stubborn" for not compromising your values, or "intense" for pouring your heart into life. They might label you "too nice" because they can’t imagine kindness without an agenda.
They’ll say you’re "difficult" for having your own thoughts or "unrealistic" because they’ve abandoned their own dreams and you haven't.
If you want to upgrade your life, stop trying to make sense to everyone. The right people will crave your realness.”
