Please, just let love in. Tell people how you feel, and do not worry about being too much. Be too much. Care too much. Let people show up for you. Let people remind you that there is goodness in this world. Be vulnerable, do not be afraid of what you feel. Try to find the beauty in each breakdown, try to move forward and let go; try to learn and believe in new beginnings despite what you have been through. Kiss the faces of your friends, hug their broken pieces back together, laugh loudly and hope loudly and live loudly and be gentle with yourself, be gentle with your healing. Connect, connect, connect — with every ounce of who you are, with every inch of your patchwork heart. Connect with the people who make you feel deeply. Connect with the moments that bring tears to your eyes. Connect with the things that make your hands shake, embrace the things that make you aware of just how lucky you are to be alive. Please, just connect — because beautiful things are vanishing each and every day. Do not let your heart become one of them.

Please, Just Let Love In. Tell People How You Feel, and Do Not Worry About Being Too Much
We Must Finally Reject this Old and False Idea that it’s a Competition
We must finally reject this old and false idea that it’s a competition. That there isn’t enough for all of us. That the progress for one racial group has to come at the expense of the other. It’s not a zero-sum game.

Life has Taught Me that You Can’t Control Someone’s Loyalty
Life has taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty, No matter how good you are to them, doesn’t mean that they will treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn’t mean that they will value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least.

Your New Life is Going to Cost You Your Old One.
Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. But it doesn’t matter. Because the people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. And you’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. And instead of like, you’re going to be loved. Instead of understanding, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are. Let it go.

The Truth is Sometimes we Change Our Minds About Love
The truth is sometimes we change our minds about love and ‘I love you’ becomes ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ Sometimes ‘I’ll stay with you forever’ becomes ‘I have to leave before I lose my mind’ and sometimes ‘I’ll never break your heart’ becomes ‘I need to take care of my own heart for now.’
