in your 20’s find a balance between hustle & rest. you don’t need to have a love life or a soulmate figured out. go travel the world. battle your demons. set up a business, find people who value your heart & yours will attract. don’t live in the past, you have so much more to see

at the end of the day it’s you. it’s you who has to make sure that you’re okay. it’s you who has to hold yourself. it’s you who has to decided to keep going. sure making some tea will make you feel okay but you really do have to make sure you’re okay. you have to keep holding on and keep trying, it’s hard out here, I know that. it’s you and you can do it. you can do whatever you want to do because you are strong and you’ve made it so far

“Life doesn’t always introduce you to the people you want to meet. Sometimes life puts you in touch with the people you need to meet – to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become.”

“Seasons change, and so do friends. Some will be the winter to your spring, and some will be the summer to your winter, and whether you like it or not, you’re going to outgrow some, and some are going to outgrow you. Whether they stay or leave doesn’t change those memories of watching the sun rise on top of a hill, sharing scary stories around the bonfire, or the times when they would be with you during your heartbreaks and take their time to watch your heart heal. Those who are the winter to your spring are there to remind you that life has its harsh realities, and those who are the summer to your winter are those who make you understand that despite the saddest of days, love is going to split your heart open again until you smile once more and always once more. But there will always be those you’ll find along your journey or are already with you in your journey that are the summer to your light and the spring to your blossoms. You just have to stick around with those who love you with all of their craziness and passions and see that they’ll be someone you’d love to love no matter the stage of your life.”

“I feel happy with my girlfriend: She’s an English teacher and has a passion for educating and inspiring little children’s minds. I love the way that despite all her busyness, she makes time for the both of us to chill, watch movies, tend to the garden, play with our dogs, read poetry, and inspires me to write my own. When she goes home after a long tiring day, she still loves to cook for the both of us while I’m the one who does the dishes and the laundry, and it feels good to have someone like her as a teammate, a best friend, and the love of my simple life. I love how she laughs when I mess things up a bit, which makes me want to be better even more, and I admire her ideas for life, travel, and faith in the unknown. She helps me see the silver lining when the sky is dull and gray and supports me in my search for beauty in nature, progress, and dreams every blessed day. I want to let her know that there’s nothing more than this that I could ask for because she’s all I’ve ever hoped for in a person to share the wholeness of my heart with. And in this neighborhood, this town, this city, this country, this world, and this entire universe, I’m the luckiest being of them all.”

“To read for pleasure is a gift for the mind; Seeing the characters in a book who have the same demons as mine and feel my tears drip as they find redemption. I read books as if it predicts my life; a map to the future – a compass for the personality. To read is to make friends with people who are dead in the body and alive in my thoughts. I read to write as I write to live – I love my books as a gardener loves his flowers and marvel at the beauty of the words I cannot say.”

I just want to be surrounded by so much love in my life. And not just relationships. Love for my job, my home, the stars, the sunsets, the place I live where ever in the world that is. I want to experience love in all forms
