“One day,
someone so close to you
will see you crack under pressure.
They'll watch you fall to pieces
on the floor
and come and sit
so close next to you
They won't pick up your pieces
They'll leave them as they are
and make you feel loved
and felt and seen,
in your puddle of mud
and mess, regardless.
They'll make you feel like
you don't have to clean anything up,
like you don't have to hide
any of these pieces away again
Because you don't
Because it's those same pieces
that make you so damn lovable.”
― S.C. Lourie

“That thing that calls your name, chase it.
That thing that rattles your bones, do it until your courage drowns out the fear.
When your soul growls, feed it.”
― L. E. Bowman

“My point is simple: Adults will have negative opinions about you and everything you do. Let Them judge. Let Them react. Let Them doubt you. Let Them question the decisions you are making. Let Them be wrong about you. Let Them roll their eyes when you start posting videos online or you want to rewrite the manuscript for the 12th time. Instead of wasting your time worrying about them, start living your life in a way that makes you proud of yourself. Let Me do what I want to do with my one wild and precious life.”
― Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About

“You will never regret
The times you stopped to listen to a loved one,
or put down your phone to be present,
or paused to notice something beautiful,
or made an effort to be kind.
This is the good stuff.
Don't miss it.”
