"You don’t have to put on a brave face and be strong every day. It’s okay to drop that armor and let yourself crumble when you don’t feel fine. If you can’t get out of bed, take a rest day and sleep in..."

Some of you are unaware of just how amazing you really are. The way you make people laugh, lift others up, or spread some extra love. You do this even though you are struggling too, and I think it makes you such a beautiful human being.
"I love when people are transparent with me, naturally, and don't force me to read them and use my intuition to see their true intentions. Be exactly who and what you say you are with me, save us both the time and energy—that's time and energy we could spend truly connecting.”
