Respect should be found in your own heart and never demanded, sacraficed, begged for or negotiated. If you have to explain why you deserve it then you never had it.
You cannot become a peacemaker without communication. Silence is a passive aggressive grenade thrown by insecure people that want war, but they don’t want the accountability of starting it.
Truth is never a straight line; it is a circle that will take you back to what you know, in order to challenge your belief in what is fair, what is real, what is forgiveable, what is not and what type of person will you become today now that you know.
See it for what it is and own it, rather than rethink it so you don’t have to deal with the trauma of the abuse. This is the only way to move on – through acceptance.
If someone wants to be in your life they will find you. If they don’t they will find an excuse.
The depth of your pain will always be equal to the depth of your love.
Heroes are not made. They are born out of circumstances and rise to the occasion when their spirit can no longer coexist with the hypocrisy of injustice to others.
If I could be anything in this world I would be rare. So rare that the people I loved never forgot me or ever found anything to compare me to. I was never a type, but the only type – the person you couldn’t throw away because you would never be able to describe the mystery of something that didn’t fit this world.
When what you value and dream about doesn’t match the life you are living, you have pain.
True love is the tide that pulls out to sea, but always returns to kiss the shore at sunrise.
The only person worth being in your life is a person that will never make you feel like you are worthless.
A broken soul doesn’t invest in boundaries because the world has crossed them, without mercy.
Too many people spend their life in fear of making a mistake. However, here is the truth: Fear is the mistake. If you block out all the doubts and listen only to what you feel in your heart, then follow that course, you waste less time in indecision and spend more time being authentic. Life is too short to settle for parttime happiness.
How can you follow your heart, unless you know why you have allowed it to be empty for so long and didn’t have the courage to fix it?
Never settle on a life you don’t want when God is trying to give you a better life.
Some people look for the obvious and make decisions based on that. However, sensitive people look for the subtle things in life. They observe what is missed, overlooked and rarely observed by others. They dwell at a deeper level of perception that clings to signs, body language and what is left unspoken. They are observers that will trust their instinct first over any fact or well delivered speech.
There will always be people afraid of the monsters in the night. They are usually the ones that look for them because they have proven they exist in themselves.
When you meet a dark angel don’t you ever for one minute believe they are bad because they have faced the worst demons and lived to guide you through yours. It really isn’t an easy job they have been asked to do, but then neither was standing on the front line during the war in heaven.
Art is nothing more than creating an emotion in your own form.
You can’t live in your mind and expect those dreams to become real, without the work. Reality requires actions that might feel scary, but that is what is required if you want to find true love. Don’t expect it to come and rescue you. You have to rescue yourself.
