I love to string beautiful words together and play heartstring lullabies.

#empoweringwomen tagged by @bettylarrea Being a woman, it can be hard to find your power. It can be hard to recognize that being a woman makes you powerful, not weak. Society, groups of people, and people we may love put us down and make us believe we are less than because we are female. But that’s part of our power. It took me too long to learn my powers, I hope you see yours sooner. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNQsLkBwZ6/?igshid=fl9bal9tfo4

I am silent. Standing here trying not to fall — or break. Trying to put the broken pieces of my life back together. It had been a while since I had been really bothered by something — too long, I suppose. Enough time had passed that just a bit of bother broke me. I am trying to stay. I am not very good at staying — I am better at looking away, and running far. I would rather be free of any pain, free of any ... me. Reflections make me sick, I try to avoid them — and simultaneously, I avoid myself. The less of myself I see, the less of myself I am forced to save — over and over again. It is always something. I am always the damsel in distress and the hero who saves myself in the knick of time. What has this life come to that I would rather lose my lungs and heart than face myself? I would! I would lose everything all over again. This face I see is hideous. Always hiding the sins of a girl who never knew better — but I learned better and I was happy in paths I had traveled. I like the dark cold nights — the ones that leave you shivering in your sleep. They make me feel less alone and more understood. I am always running. Always fighting against my own skin and bones, trying to take the torn bits and make them into a whole person again. I may never be whole, but I will never allow myself to die for sins I did not commit. I will never be able to fully save myself — the monsters always come back, the pain never stays away for good. No matter how far I run — I am stuck with myself. And if I have ever run from you, I hope you know I was not running from you — I was running from who I was, who I am becoming — Who I see when I look inside of myself. Pain does not make beauty, and darling, struggle does not make a savior. -AshleyAnne https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHcmNHhTbp/?igshid=1wam2pexdc6b5

“There is no special love exclusively reserved for romantic partners. Genuine love is the foundation of our engagement with ourselves, with family, with friends, with partners, with everyone we choose to love.”

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, 'I'm not going to make it,' but you laugh inside remembering all the times you've felt that way.
