REMEMBER THE DARKNESS IS NECESSARY FOR THE LIGHT TO SHINE

I rarely ask about someone’s past. sometimes I like to know the previous experiences that someone might have had. but overall I truly believe that all the mistakes, all the rough patches, all the bumps on the road have made you what you are now.
and that is the most important part.

It doesn’t matter if you are not on top of your game at the moment. The only thing that matters is that you take care of yourself, that you take care of your best ally, YOU.
it is so easy being a d**k, that is why there are so many out there… be different, care, love, and respect.
That is what makes someone great.
This ability to love in spite of the pain that the others may have caused you.
The ability to care when so many times you felt left out.
I am not saying that you should open your heart to toxic people that will only take advantage of it (haven’t we all been toxic to someone at some point?). I am just saying that if you are tolerant towards yourself (and that does not prevent you from trying to be your best self) only then will you be able to be compassionate towards others.
we experience the exterior world with our own understanding of ourselves. that is why from time to time the world can seem like such a harsh place. but seeking beauty or happiness can indeed make you very unhappy.. They always say it’s the journey not the destination.. I think it’s even more than this.. I believe that self-discovery and that those terrible experiences can give you a better understanding of what you are capable of. it also teaches you your limits.

We are all so different… how can you compare yourself to another human being, it will never be relevant.
look inside.

even if you want to look away, even if sometimes it feels unbearable to listen to our own silence.. growth isn’t about unicorns and glitter and fun stuff… it can be heart wrenching.. it will shake your whole world.
Maybe that is why birthing is such a painful experience.. in order to create a new you.

Remember the darkness is necessary for the light to shine.
Don’t look away,
your demons will accompany you along this journey.
Learn to understand them, they are a part of you.
I will admit I Have a lot of pride myself and one of the hardest things that I have to work on is being able to accept feelings and emotions.
But I truly believe that this world needs more love and that the only shots you regret are the ones you didn’t take. Remember that what is meant for you Will be yours, you shouldn’t have to fight for anybody’s love or attention.
Don’t look for anyone to complete you, you are already complete. if someone wants to accompany you for a while on your journey sometimes it is OK to let them but it is still your journey, your experience.
You will not be rescued. you will not fill the void with somebody else, it is too much of a responsibility for the other person. But keep in mind that you are
never alone.
This type of change does not happen overnight.. even when you think you got it, sometimes you will stumble, sometimes you will fall… and that is OK.
Take the time you need to heal yourself.

You will thank you later.

Love
