Straight from my heart & brain to my fingertips

Small in stature, Big in heart <3

How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?

Virginia Woolf, Selected Essays. (via wordsnquotes)

It’s all about the first person you wanna tell good news to.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless,—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.

Julia Quinn, Romancing Mister Bridgerton (via wordsnquotes)

[thequotejournals]

There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don’t help them by doing the job yourself.

Laurell K. Hamilton (via wnq-anonymous)

[vomitingwords]

And I’ll always wonder about what’s swirling in your mind— what’s blooming in your heart, but I’ll always be terrified of not being able to find my name written inside any of them.

ma.c.a // Please, Say Who I Am (via vomitingwords)

[wordsnquotes]

It always takes two. For relationships to work, for them to break apart, for them to be fixed.

Emily Giffin, Heart of the Matter (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

Happiness

It took me a long time to find it. Not realizing that it was already inside of me. But it had been buried.. Beneath hurt, anger, sadness and depression.. Just to name a few.

In 4 years I have beat depression 3 times. Has it been easy? Hell no. Has it been worth it? Hell yes. I wake up each day and some days it’s still a hard task to get out of bed but you know what, I say a prayer & I do it. Do I like myself everyday? Do I like my life everyday? No and no. But do I love myself and love my life everyday, yes. You know why, because I made it to where I am now & I’m going to make it to where God needs me to go. I’m destined for greatness because my spirit has a fire lit down in it that tells me so. Life is SO much better when you have positive affirmations. I’m still struggling to look myself in they eye in the mirror and say “You are beautiful” without crying but I tell myself daily, “Asya you are AMAZING!” “You are dope af” “You are so funny”.

You can’t go searching for other people to tell you positive things if you don’t know how to tell them to yourself because then it’s done in vain. You won’t believe them. You’ll just believe that it was nice of them to say those things about you. If you can’t love yourself, you can’t expect for someone else to. It’s definitely true too.

If you’re unhappy, try this: find ONE thing/reason to be happy as soon as you wake up each morning. Hold on to it all day long. If something goes wrong, remind yourself of that one thing. As the days go on, you’ll find more reasons to be happy, you’ll begin to feel better. Once you begin to feel better, bless someone else with your good vibes. Everyone needs them!

Happiness is like the sprinkles in life and we’re all just frosted cupcakes. Everyone should be like 3yo putting sprinkles in abundance on our cupcakes. Put that shit everywhere 💜

Don't be afraid to be "too". Too emotional, too childish, too straightforward, too whatever. There always will be someone who will lord you for who you are, who'll find enchantment in all your "too's... 💜 (at Virginia)

This is what he does all day, every day. My big ol baby 💙🐢#dontbullymybreed #pitbullsofinstagram

My heart in human form 💙💜💚💜💙 I cannot imagine being on life's roller coaster with any other set of people. I try to tell them how much I love them but words can't truly describe it. I have them tattooed above my heart for a reason. My little brother & sister are my babies and I would do anything for them..even if they don't always remember, their big sis got them. My parents are my lifelines & I pray they live long enough for me to be able to bless them one day. Little niña is still baking but I would already kill for her. Tití's baby will know she is loved every moment. I can't imagine my life without these 4 1/2 people. (at Cape May, New Jersey)

12 or under. Think about it.

Even with this, men will still say that most women find it innocent and like the ‘compliments’

#WCE This hot momma!!! I don't think my sister realizes how ecstatic I am about spending family time with our parents and brother this weekend. This is the first time in over a year that we have both been able to visit our parents at the same time. I can't wait to rub her belly and I'll even let her be the favorite this weekend lol. Love you Francesca Ann ❤️ Tell Jojo her Tití loves her sooo much & cant wait for her grand entrance 💜 (at Virginia)
