I want to know I’m important
Picture yourself when you were five. In fact, dig out a photo of little you at that time and tape it to your mirror. How would you treat her, love her, feed her? How would you nurture her if you were the mother of little you? I bet you would protect her fiercely while giving her space to spread her itty-bitty wings. She’d get naps, healthy food, imagination time, and adventures into the wild. If playground bullies hurt her feelings, you’d hug her tears away and give her perspective. When tantrums or meltdowns turned her into a poltergeist, you’d demand a loving time-out in the naughty chair. From this day forward I want you to extend that same compassion to your adult self.

—Kris Carr

 

The important people in our lives leave imprints. They may stay or go in the physical realm, but they are always there in your heart, because they helped form your heart. There’s no getting over that.





If I have learned anything over this last year it’s that you have to live your own life too so that if something we hoped for doesn’t work out, you still have two legs to stand on, you still have your own path.



 






What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.



 

       

         
even be-
     FORE I MET YOU I     
was far from INDIFFERENT TO YOU.
 

 


       

         
  something
      IN ME WILL SAVE ME      
from utter ruin NO MATTER WHAT COMES.
 

 


Cruelty does not make a person dishonest,
the same way bravery does not make a person kind.

I need very badly to be just me.
I can't live up to your romantic ideal of me.

Fine. Go ahead and pass me in the halls, pretend like I dont exist and like I mean nothing to you; I hope every single time you look into my eyes though, you relive every moment we shared together.

And I hope it hurts you, as much as it hurts me.
