I was born with a soul that is way too sensitive for this cold and ugly world, I have always felt things deeply and differently than most people. That has always been my blessing and my curse.

People Talk about Caterpillars becoming Butterflies
People talk about caterpillars becoming butterflies as though they just go into a cocoon, slap on wings, and are good to go. Caterpillars have to dissolve into a disgusting pile of goo to become butterflies. So if you’re a mess wrapped up in blankets right now, keep going.

Y’all Refuse to be a Safe Haven
Y’all refuse to be a safe haven for your children on some “the real world won’t coddle them” bullshit. Of course, it won’t, that’s why they need to learn what love looks like, so they can recognize when they’re being treated badly. Don’t normalize pain and disappointment.

I Helped Myself. Wiped my own Tears
I helped myself. Wiped my own tears. Put balm over fresh wounds. Plastered parts of my heart that
still were hurting. Gave myself time. Read books that soothed my soul. Heard music that calmed my nerves. Watched movies that made me smile. Bit by bit, piece by piece, I put myself back together again. And gave myself a second chance. Because I know that if I didn’t, then no one else would.

Never be Ashamed to Say
Never be ashamed to say, “l’m worn out. I’ve had enough. I need some time for myself.” That isn’t being selfish. That isn’t being weak. That’s being human.
