You deserve connections that don’t require you to walk on eggshells to get a point across. You deserve connections that don’t require you to sacrifice your peace just to protect feelings or egos. You deserve connections that don’t require you to distance your self, from yourself.
~ Billy Chapata
You Deserve Connections that Don’t Require you to Walk on Eggshells
Together We are All On a Journey Called Life
Together we are all on a journey called life. We are a little broken and a little shattered inside. Each one of us is aspiring to make it to the end. None is deprived of pain here and we have all suffered in our own ways. I think our journey is all about healing ourselves and healing each other in our own special ways. Let’s just help each other put all those pieces back together and make it to the end more beautifully. Let us help each other survive.
~ Ram Dass
This Second is Your Life. All of It. Not a Second Ago…
This second is your life. All of it. Not a second ago, not yesterday, not last year, not when you were a teenager. Not the next second, not tonight, not ten years from now. Your life is not an old photograph, a love you had five years ago, or last night’s love making. Though it is all that. And all your dreams of tomorrow. And plans, and investments and hopes and dreams. But above all your yesterdays and all your many tomorrows, it is this very second, and whether you are in Paris, or in Nagpur, or on an airplane or floating on a cloud or making banana bread, or reading this all alone, if you are enjoying this very second, you are enjoying life. It is as simple as that.

Despite what You May Believe, You Can Disappoint People
Despite what you may believe, you can disappoint people and still be good enough. You can make mistakes and still be capable and talented. You can let people down and still be worthwhile and deserving of love. Everyone has disappointed someone they care about. Everyone messes up, lets people down, and makes mistakes. Not because we’re inadequate or fundamentally inept, but because we’re imperfect and fundamentally human. Expecting anything different is setting yourself up for failure.

You’re Going to be Fine, You Always Are
“You’re going to be fine, you always are.”
Yes, I will be. But please allow me a moment to express and display my sadness and discomfort. I know it will get better, but I need to also be honest and say my spirit is temporarily heavy and not have to hide that.
~ Kaya Nova
