There's an incredible liberation in dropping the masks and living from a place of pure authenticity.

“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about ever again. But you do.”

— C.S. Lewis, The Wonder Years

Hoping that the day will soon come… when my mind is finally tired of imagining the possibilities of a story together if only we had done things differently

If we had only bumped into each other in the right place, with the right background song, both saying the right lines of a perfect rom-com script from the 90’s

But at the same time it is a little comforting imagining all these things, because at least in my imagination we get a chance to be together, for at least some vague minutes, as if watching a love song video where the story is completed in three and a half minutes, when i subconsciously distract myself from reality, while listening to the music we both used to discuss and obsess about.

“And if there’s something that I’ve learned this year, it’s this: When you truly love something, you choose it over anything else. No matter what the world will say to make you look the other way you choose it and you choose it ferociously. And then you see where life will take you from there.”

— Juansen Dizon, The Year of Love

[minimalistquotes]

Outgrow Your Own Bullshit: Stop blaming others. Start owning your mistakes and be accountable. Start reflecting over your own actions, words, patterns and behaviors. Start changing yourself instead of changing the world. Start admitting when you are wrong. You see, it's time you realize it's not always the others. When you're always pointing fingers at others, you forget to clean up your own mess.

You will be too raw for some.

You will be too loud, too tall, too shiny, too fierce, too smart, too “attention seeker”, too deep, too everything.

Those are not your people.

“Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself and be good to yourself.”

— Leo F. Buscaglia 

[minimalistquotes]

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.

[minimalistquotes]

The older you get, the more you choose calmness over drama and distance over disrespect. You prioritize your peace, mental health, and happiness - over everything.

Feeling too much can hurt sometimes, but one day you grow and realize that your heart was never really broken. It was just wide open.
