The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.

You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful.

Take a break from relationships and dedicate yourself to self-care and personal healing. You need to stop bleeding on people who didn’t cut you.

Within the vulnerability I feared, I found the strength I needed. By dismantling my story, I bared my truth and released my soul. Though my scars of wisdom reveal a self-inflicted unchangeable past, there is a forgiving grace that has placed the pen back in my hand to write a better future.

Don’t confuse “familiar” with “acceptable”. Toxic relationships can fool you like that.

Shout-out to everyone who won't be going back to "normal"! Those who will refuse to allow the nonsense they used to. Those who will set new healthy standards. Those who will let go, forgive, and move on. Those who will finally act upon their goals and dreams. Those who will never again shrink themselves for those who refuse to grow. Those who will fall back in love with life. Those who will come out of this chaos stronger and more baddasss than ever!

Stop dwelling and wishing they'd see the light and treat you better. Instead, forgive yourself for keeping low standards, and love yourself enough to raise them.

Just because you are available for a relationship, doesn't mean you are ready for one. Sometimes you need a break from external relationships to nourish the internal one.

It's bad when they don't treat you right... but it's tragic that you continue to allow it. Let today be the day you love yourself enough to say, NEVER AGAIN!
