"The fact that you're struggling doesn't make you a burden. It doesn't make you unloveable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn't make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren't always easy to be around - and that's okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And, yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren't all of who you are and they certainly don't discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness."

-Daniell Koepke

“In the end, she became more than what she expected. She became the journey, and like all journeys, she did not end, she simply changed directions and kept going.” - r.m. drake

“And perhaps

What made her beautiful

Was not her appearance,

Or what she achieved,

But in her love

And in her courage

And her audacity

To believe

No matter

The darkness

Around her,

Light ran wild

Within her,

And that was the way

She came alive,

And it showed up

In everything.”

I Think It’s Brave

I think it’s brave that you get up in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones ache for a rest.

I think it’s brave that you keep on living even if you don’t know how to anymore.

I think it’s brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day and you decide to fight.

I know there are days when you feel like giving up but I think it’s brave that you never do.
