girl to girl: sometimes you’ll find an old picture of yourself and suddenly realize you were actually beautiful during a time when you spent so much energy criticizing yourself.
This is why I want to be rich. I’d hire a team to go out once a month and hit like 10-15 grocery stores in low income neighborhoods. Food delivery to places with food deserts. This gets my blood moving.
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
Take more pictures
Always say I love you
Let things go
Learn the lesson. Don't repeat it.
Laugh often.
Be known for kindness
Ask them out.
Hold them close.
Embrace the small moments.
Pray
Love again.
Life is too short.
What a privilege it is to afford a gym, buy healthy food, pay bills, have legs that walk, eyes that see, a brain that functions, work every day, and take our bodies to their full potential.
Don’t borrow shame from the past. You are really not that person anymore and you simply didn't know better. No reason to beat yourself up for it. All you can do is do better.
