I Second This.

“The night is beautiful, so the faces of my people. The stars are beautiful, so the eyes of my people. Beautiful, also, is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.”

You saw them the moment you stepped in the room—silvery eyes, flashing bright in the gloom.

Take it day by day. It took years for them to screw you up, take time with your healing. Love yourself through the process. Give yourself grace! These are things I repeat to myself yet, even so still have those days that just seem like “Didn’t I just heal from this?” “Why am I resorting back?!” BUT it doesn’t always mean that! It’s ok to have a bad day. I have to accept that this is a process and some days triggers will just be harder to deflect. Some days our traumas come to taunt us, but I won’t stop the fight. I won’t keep allowing this battle in my mind keep me from healing and moving foreward. I will not hold on to shame and guilt for allowing myself to feel. It’s ok to feel. It’s ok not to be perfect. It’s ok to heal. It’s ok to be happy. And it’s ok NOT to be on the days that you just aren’t feeling your best. Stop beating yourself up!

Every. Damn. Time.

Everybody love how real I am until I say some shit they don't like

Sometimes my empathy turns to apathy.

At times my rage is hard to contain.

Why must I feel so intensely.

When I’m sad my world is crumbling.

When I’m mad you’ll feel my wrath.

I’m loving and kind.

I’m mean and moody.

I’m tired guys.

Emotionally.

Mentally.

Physically.

Tired.

You become a master of your life when you learn how to control where your attention goes.

Value what you give your time and energy to!

Stop trying to make people understand you. This is your journey. As long as YOU understand you and your heart is in the right place, no one else matters. They will just have opinions. Ideas of you. But never a true understanding of YOU. Don’t feel sad over it. Feel confident knowing yourself, loving yourself & being true to yourself.

Ain’t that the truth.
