Set a goal. Say it out loud. Let it scare you. Let it change you. Let it excite you. And then, let it motivate you. Until one day, you’ll say it out loud and it’ll be a reality. A product of your hustle, of your persistence. The product of a dreamer who was brave enough to leap.

I have found that happiness is a defiant act of bravery in spite of a callous world.

I am worth more than these excuses. I am worth more than this inconsistent, unhealthy, disappointing dynamic. I am worthy of finding someone that is never going to allow us to settle into this toxic, distorted version of love.

Find a love that listens even when you’re not saying anything, that knows the infinite ways you express yourself in silence, and can interpret the quiet as though you’re screaming to be heard.

You’ve been looking for someone else while losing yourself along the way.
