This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!

Pretending not to be hurt isn't healing. If you want to HEAL from it, you have to DEAL with it.

Perspective heals us, perspective empowers us, and if we let it, perspective will make us wiser. We are often built by the same things we thought were destroying us.

No matter what you do, some people will always wonder if you love them back. Emotional trauma can be like that.

Love is a reason for so many things… But not to tolerate disrespect and abuse. Let love be the force that heals you from a bad relationship; not what keeps you in it.

Are you healed or just distracted? Don’t confuse the two.

Sometimes you cry about things you thought you were over. That’s normal. Healing doesn’t follow a checklist; it’s a process. You’re not a robot. Trauma embeds itself into the genetic fiber of our being. So allow for little pockets of grief… even from things you’re healed from.

I was asked about an emotional hack for letting go... Here's the truth; They are NEVER going to be sorry enough... You want THEM to bleed from the cut they gave YOU. It doesn't work that way. When you realize this, you can finally save your emotional energy and free yourself from the burden of holding a grudge... You can move on.

I had to heal… I had to stop trying to nourish my present life with expired moments. I had to move on… So that I could experience new love without being afraid of old pain.
