my goal is to be kindhearted, have soft hair, and always smell like flowers.
The more you hide your feelings, the more they show. The more you deny your feelings, the more they grow.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let go. Surrender all attachments to people and things that you have been struggling to hold on to.
Iyanla Vanzant (via wordsnquotes)
Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.
I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.
I’m afraid of
a lot of things,
but mostly,
most sincerely,
I am afraid of
being completely
unraveled by you,
and you finding nothing
you want in here.
