“I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.”—
“Staying true to yourself is not about staying the same. It’s not about making a goal to be the exact individual whom you were since day one. Staying true means expressing what you think, feel, and value; regardless of when in your life it arises. You may not be the exact same person who you used to be, however that’s completely natural. You have simply grown and deepened your self image since then.”— Nicole Addison @thepowerwithin
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”— Maya Angelou

“I love speaking with people about their passions and goals– the look in their eyes or the pure excitement in their voices. When it draws you in, makes you feel something: that’s how you know it’s genuine.”— Jennifer Smalls (via perrfectly)
If you are to find someone else, you must find someone who cherishes you inside and out.
Absolutely unconditionally.
Completely and without a doubt.
You must find someone who loves you not only on the outside, but from your very core. Not only for the shape or your body or the touch of your skin, but for the magnificent beauty that exists within you.
You deserve to be treasured, for there is far more to you than what lies on the surface.

I’ve come from some of the deepest of depths. I’ve fought battles that’re hard to imagine. But when I look up, I see endless sky. The sun shines bright. My life is open to me. And I’m not going to let my past cloud my future. I’m going to give it my all, shining my heart to the world each and every day. -N.A.
