Uncle Shawn
I did it, I graduated high school. I hate that you weren’t there to watch me walk across that stage or scream my name so loud you lost your voice like you said you’d do,I know you were there in my heart and right beside me the whole time I love and miss you so much
Somebody asked me, “Why is it important to be kind?”
I then replied: Because you never know who is grieving, exhausted, or at their breaking point. Your kindness might be the only bit of warmth they feel today.
“Communication is key” but no one talks about how scary real communication is. It is not cute texts and long calls. It’s “here’s where you hurt me, here’s what I need, here’s what I’m afraid to say”. It’s swallowing pride, risking rejection, choosing honesty over comfort.
i love the idea of love. having someone who genuinely wants to be with you, enjoys your company, and cannot go a day without talking to you is a beautiful experience that everyone deserves to have.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
i lied. i want a cute corny relationship. i want to dance in the rain. i want to watch movies and cuddle. i want to write eachothers initials on our hands. i want to draw hearts on eachother. i want to blast music in the car. i want to go on fun walks. i want to hold hands and skip down the sidewalk or in stores. i want to go on the cutest little dates. i want to feel butterflies. i want to stare in eachothers eyes. I want the little compliments. i want it all
as a grown up, i've realized you don't want to be crazy in love. you want someone who gives you peace of mind, reassurance, and consistency not constant anxiety and little heart attacks
People don't realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of a dark place mentally. So if you've done that today or any day. I'm proud of you.
I like that "morning baby" kinda relationship. The no games, great communication, lots of kissing, lots of cuddling, lots of flirting, lots of goofiness kind of relationship. That makes you want to create hobbies together, read books, and drop your bad habits and toxic patterns.
Girl to girl: be that girl again.
Put yourself first again. Get disciplined again. Eat better & move your body again. Drink your water & oil your scalp again. Start praying & reading your Bible again. Get your money up and sleep 8 hours again. Take care of yourself. Find your spark again. Get dolled up again.
It’s time to get back to you, sis. You got this! ✨
Love isn't enough for me anymore. I need you to respect me. I need you to support me. I need you to reassure me. I need to know you won't give up on me. I need you to value me. I need you to be gentle with me. I need to feel safe with you sol can be the softest version of me.
don’t marry the person who only gives you butterflies. marry the person who makes you want to tell them every random thought that crosses your mind.
because one day, life will be ordinary more often than it is extraordinary. and love should make even the ordinary feel worth sharing.
