Darling, you can find me in the sunflower fields surrounded by art supplies making paper stars and singing the words to every love song… just to myself.

My soul is at a constant tug-of-war between having a happy heart and a melancholy mind. I think that is why I am so positive toward others and sad toward myself.

“i’m not the type of person to give up on someone. yes, sometimes i get really mad and upset so i need a minute to cool off but i’ll never abandon you. i don’t leave people. and i think that's why it always hurts so bad when people leave me.”

If you don’t want me to be happy if it’s not with you, then it’s not real love.

“self love is a long dance that you will routinely fall out of rhythm with, forget the steps to, and struggle to master, but darling, no one said practicing this dance would be easy.”

“there is a special kind of magic that comes with minding your own business and focusing on you. there is a special kind of magic that comes with creating boundaries so they can mind their own business and you can focus on you. there is a special kind of magic in focusing on you.”

teaching myself to speak kinder to myself is like trying to unlearn an accent; my lips still take shape around the things i’m used to saying and i have to stop and remind myself not to say those things even though there’s no hesitation sometimes  and certain words will roll off my tongue with ease without a second thought, i hear myself saying: “i’m not hungry” “i’m not smart” “i’m not pretty” “i’m not worthy” it all sounds like my native tongue; so natural, so familiar  what i should be saying it’s ingrained into the way i speak, the way i think but i am trying to practice this new speech  to take control over those thoughts and stop myself before i say what i know i should take back it isn’t easy but in time, i think my tongue and mouth will know to swallow new words and hopefully i can learn to say things like  “i am going to eat today” “i am smarter than i realize” “i am more than just beautiful” “i deserve good things and to be loved” and maybe you can still hear it when i talk but it no longer takes center stage; it’s background music that will soon fade away completely
