The wiser I become, the less I think beauty has anything to do with appearance.

Some people confuse boundaries for grudges, avoidance for weakness, distance for anger... but that's okay... Wisdom is often misunderstood. Take positive steps towards protecting your mental health... unapologetically.

As I got older, I started to cut out food that was bad for me. As I got wiser, I did the same with people.

The problem isn’t that they don't show you love, respect, and attention... The problem is that you wish they would... and now you’re begging, hoping, and giving endless second chances. They don’t value you and if you don’t change something, they’ll convince you to not value yourself. Stop arguing with reality. When it comes to love, respect, and attention, the right person won’t have to be begged.

There is beauty laced within this day… be courageous enough to find it, be kind enough to share it, and at the end of the day, be wise enough to let it go.
