Love
“In a world that rushed past me,
you were the first person
who did not ask me to hurry.
You just held the moment open
until I felt safe enough to enter.”
“I do not want a perfect love.
I want the kind that knows my moods,
my silences, my strange little storms—
and chooses, again and again,
to sit beside me anyway.”
“Your laugh arrived first,
like light under a closed door.
By the time you walked in,
my heart had already
opened the lock.”
“Love is not rescue.
Love is two people
building a raft from truth,
and promising not to lie
about the size of the waves.”
“I do not need you to fix me.
I only need you to believe
that the person I am becoming
is worth waiting for.”
“On the nights I hated myself,
you did not argue.
You just held my hand long enough
for me to remember
I was still here.”
“We are not halves.
We are two whole worlds
that chose to lean their skies together
and share the same stars.”
“Your kindness is not loud,
but it echoes in every room
my memory walks through.
That is how I know
it is real.”
“If love is a language,
then yours sounds like:
‘Text me when you get home,’
‘I saved you a plate,’
and ‘You can rest here.’”
“One day, my heart will forget
the weight it carried before you.
But it will never forget
how gently you helped
set it down.”
Wisdom
“Not every thought deserves a throne.
Some are only passing travelers—
bow to none that do not
honor your peace.”
“Slow progress is still a direction.
The seed is not lazy
for taking its time
to become a tree.”
“Be careful what you repeat
inside your own mind.
Spoken often enough,
even a lie begins
to sound like a lullaby.”
“Some doors close
not because you failed,
but because the room beyond them
was too small
for who you are becoming.”
“Do not chase people.
Walk your path with such clarity
that those meant for you
can find you easily.”
“Peace is not the absence of noise.
It is the practice of choosing
what you let echo
inside your chest.”
“Wisdom often arrives
dressed as regret.
Accept the lesson,
but do not let it
rent the whole house.”
“You are allowed to outgrow
the version of you
that kept everyone else comfortable.”
“Not every argument
is an invitation.
Silence is also
a complete answer.”
“When you stop needing
to win every conversation,
you start to win
your life back.”
Dark
“Some nights the only prayer I have
is: ‘Let me wake up different.’
The miracle is not that I change—
it is that I keep waking up
at all.”
“I learned to smile
with my whole face
so no one would see
the small funeral
going on behind my eyes.”
“Hope does not always shine.
Sometimes it crawls,
nail-broken and shaking,
but still crawling
toward tomorrow.”
“There were days I felt
like an empty house—
lights off, curtains drawn.
But something kept
paying the electricity.”
“I have been both
the wound and the knife.
Healing began
when I chose to
drop the blade.”
“Not every dark thought
is a prophecy.
Some are just weather
passing through
a tired brain.”
“I stayed alive for people
who never knew
they were holding the rope.
Some of them
were strangers.”
“There is a version of me
that almost gave up.
I owe that ghost
a life that feels
like a good apology.”
“Rock bottom is not a place.
It is a moment
you decide that whatever comes next
will not look like this.”
“I used to fear the dark.
Now I know:
it is only the part of the garden
where the new roots hide.”
Healing
“Healing did not arrive
like a trumpet blast.
It came as a glass of water,
a shower, a text back,
and the courage to try again tomorrow.”
“One small good choice
stacked quietly on another
is how a new life
is built.”
“I am not starting over.
I am starting again
with all the data
from the last attempt.”
“I forgive myself
for the years I survived
instead of lived.
That was the work
I knew how to do then.”
“Some days healing looks
like deep insight.
Other days it looks
like doing the dishes
and going to bed on time.”
“My pace is not your pace.
But every step I take
still counts as forward.”
“I bless the versions of me
that thought chaos was home.
They kept me alive
long enough
to find the door.”
“Rest is not a reward
for finishing everything.
It is fuel
for remembering who I am.”
“Sometimes the bravest thing I do
is stay.
In the room.
In the feeling.
In my own body.”
“One day, I will look back
and realize that this,
right here,
was the part where things
started to turn.”
