We have a God who loves us more than we could ever even understand. What is more comforting than that? 💛

I don’t “hate them” I can’t hate no one, but why be afraid of someone who suffered like you and and just wanted to be with someone who valued her fighting soul?

“I hate men who are afraid of women's strength.” — Anaïs Nin A woman’s strength is not a threat—it’s a power to be respected. This quote stands for every woman who’s bold, brave, and unapologetically strong. No more shrinking to fit.

“It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.”

— Agnes Repplier

“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.” — Bianca Sparacino Healing is often invisible. You’ve fought silent battles no one knows about. The strength it takes to grow is rarely seen, but always felt inside. This is your moment to own your survival. You did it. For yourself.

I'm not the silly romantic you think. I don't want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don't want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want... a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.

Instead of asking why they left, now I ask, what beauty will i create in the space they no longer occupy?

Rudy Francisco

It was sunsets that taught me that beauty sometimes only lasts for a couple of moments, and it was sunrises that showed me that all it takes is patience to experience it all over again.

“The mountains of truth you will never climb in vain.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Assorted Opinions and Maxims, 358

“Read a lot of stories, listen to a lot of music, and think about what the stories you encounter mean for your own life and lives of those you love. In that way, you will not be alone with an empty self; you will have a newly rich life with yourself, and enhanced possibilities of real communication with others.”

— Martha Nussbaum, in Take My Advice, James L. Harmon ed.

“All noble things are as difficult as they are rare.”

— Baruch Spinoza, Ethics

A little while, and you will see me no longer. Again in a little while, and you will see me.

John 16:16

“Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy trying to understand why something happened the way it did. Let it go.”

— Mandy Hale

Perhaps loneliness is the real proof that we belong to something greater than ourselves, the way absence is proof of what was once a presence.

Anne Michaels

“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”

— Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

I didn’t need anyone to understand me, I needed to understand myself.

“There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested.There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why—when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation”

— Kate Chopin, The Awakening

“You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling … Learn to use them and fly.”

— Rumi

“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.”

— Robert Muller

“It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.”

— Lemony Snicket, When Did You See Her Last?

“It’s life that matters, nothing but life – the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

“Remember: not everyone has the same heart as you.”
