I’m so proud of you.
Everyday
I just wanna make my day, my life, worth it.
I just wanna live, like every day is my last

What’s good in your life?
May 14, 2023
Life is a precious gift. Go tell someone you love them.
May 10, 2023
We usually drag our own bodies to the end, by any means possible. Maybe we’re fighting an inner battle: building walls so tall and strong, that they’re nearly impossible to break through them, wondering when, or if, we will be able to accept the help and open arms of another.
May 8, 2023
I think we’re meant to carry each other, through various points in our lives. There’s never one person always doing the “heavy lifting.” You both carry one another during different, crucial moments.
May 7, 2023
It’s okay to take space.
It’s okay to do what you need to do, for you.
April 9, 2023
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You don’t have to have your life “together” like it seems the entire world has: Because I sure as hell don’t have a clue what I’m doing with my life.
So take a breath, look around, and relax. Enjoy the life you’re living.
March 21, 2023
All of us have our own inspiration: The thing that drives us and dares us to dream.
My inspiration is your words.
March 19, 2023
I really like the color green, on me, now.
With no thanks to you.
March 11, 2023
Ask yourself, what makes you feel alive?
Now I ask you, what’s holding you back from that?
February 26, 2023
There is a past version of you that is so unbelievably proud of who you’ve become and where you are today.
That is who you’re living for.
February 24th, 2023
You‘ll always have a home: a home in me, wherever I am.
February 22nd, 2023
I truly believe that we live and love better when we finally learn to love and accept ourselves.
February 14, 2023
Remember: one’s ability to love you does not dictate your worth.
February 13th, 2023
“I dream my painting and then I paint my dream”
Vincent Van Gogh February 12, 2023
Maybe someday, we won’t define ourselves by the number on the scale.
February 7, 2023
Do you ever feel like you’re the only one in the universe? But like, not in a bad way, in a good way? In a way that you’re the only one alive right now? I do, sometimes.
January 30, 2023
You don’t even realize how beautiful it is to just exist.
January 26, 2023
What you tolerate in life is what you get.
January 23, 2023
Today might be the day: The day your whole life changes.
January 16th, 2023
Continue to feel. To search for understanding those feelings.
The Touch.
The Sounds.
The Smells.
The Tastes.
The Sights.
You will never experience today, again.
January 14, 2023
There always comes a time where one discovers what ‘life’ means to them. The ‘Why’ they are they doing what they are doing.
January 13, 2023
There’s a feeling that grows within when one is truly able to be themselves authentically.
A feeling without desire: no need for more. A sense of worth: of knowing you are perfect the way you are.
It may present itself as a smile on the dance floor. Or admitting one’s fears. Or merely bringing a light to life.
January 10, 2023
Love conquers all.
January 9, 2023
“The best revenge is happiness.”
– Ronald Vega
January 6, 2023
And above it all, I love you.
January 4, 2023
Life is messy. Life is chaotic. Life is confusing, and challenging!
Yet, life is also thrilling… and wondrous! Life is full of surprises, twists and turns that are meant to lead you through your journey.
So, please don’t give up this journey we call life.
January 3, 2023
Life: a precious and fragile gift that we often take for granted.
January 2, 2023
Going into this new year, who do you want to be?
December 31st, 2022
We don’t have time to play it safe anymore.
It’s time we start taking risks: being vulnerable with the people we love, taking a chance to chase a passion, or going on random adventures across the state, the country, or heck, even the world!
Another year has nearly come and gone. We don’t have anymore time to mess around; This game? It’s called our lives.
December 30, 2022
I am so proud of the beautiful person you’ve become. No matter what darkness approaches, your bright light shines, time and time again.
December 29, 2022
Believing and keeping faith in what/who you cannot see is one of the most courageous things a person can do.
It’s as if it provides a slight warmth sitting at the bottom of your heart: a small flame from a burning ember that fuels your journey. As soon as you realize, you have transformed into the authentic version of yourself. All while drawing in those who were meant to be in your life.
December 28, 2022
For today’s quote, sometimes, I don’t even know what to say.
Right now, I’m speechless… The fatigue is setting in, and even my routine coffee isn’t as effective. However, the new year is right around the corner: with new dreams and aspirations!
In 2023, I hope to turn the page to my next chapter in the book of life. I encourage you to challenge yourself to not just flip the pages, but to understand and enjoy the message.
December 27, 2022
Maybe you now have gained just as much as you’ve “lost”.
But I don’t believe we’ve lost anything in the first place. Sometimes, space can create a place where people can grow into their own personas. Then they either grown back together, or grow further apart.
What’s meant to be, will always come back.
December 25, 2022
Yes, the Holiday Season can be filled with merry and cheer, but it also reminds me of my constant, looming loneliness and fears.
Even one day, when my holiday is a companies buy another, that doesn’t mean that one is not lost at sea in their own minds.
This is a reminder that the holiday seasons are filled with struggle for some.
December 24, 2022
I want to spend my time, with you.
December 23, 2022
I think we will never “have it all figured out.” If we do claim to, I think in reality, we took the easy way out. Where we are playing it safe, not shaking the boat, and doing what needs to be done: the bare minimum
Yet, when we don’t have it figured out, our lives are messy, chaotic, and what we perceive as a problem. However the truth is, this means we are taking risks, chasing our passions, and making active change in our lives.
Perhaps, beauty is found when we are lost.
December 20, 2022
I’m proud of you.
I’m proud of your for being daring and taking a risk.
I’m proud of you for trying.
I’m proud of you for everything you’ve done.
We all deserve to hear that.
December 19, 2022
I hope someday, you are your own #1 priority.
Because the truth is, putting yourself first is not selfish; it’s healthy.
December 15, 2022
There is a sense of peace and stillness in uncertainty
It’s as no one knows who you’ll be
And you have to power to create your destiny
December 11, 2022
No matter how deep your love and compassion are, you need to be there for yourself BEFORE you can be there for anyone else.
December 6, 2022
We’re so good at unconditionally loving everyone else.
Why can’t we love ourselves the same way?
December 5th, 2022
Your kind, yet gentle, memory replays in my head.
You are not one who can be forgotten. You’ve always meant something to me.
December 4th, 2022
Consistent Gratitude may open a path to something brighter, and more daring than you had ever dreamt of.
November 24, 2022
You can’t make anyone love you.
November 22, 2022
Have the courage to take a risk;
That risk may just open your eyes.
November 20, 2022
You deserve the same kindness and compassion that you give endlessly to others.
November 13, 2022
Whenever you see this,
Do something kind today.
Aim to make a difference in the world.
November 6, 2022
Neither you nor I are meant to be perfect human beings.
We are allowed to make mistakes.
What we do with the mistakes is what counts.
October 31, 2022
Remember:
Your life matters.
Your voice matters.
You matter.
October 27, 2022
Today, I finally feel, I am right where I am meant to be.
October 22, 2022
If only you could see a glimpse the human I see; you’d be amazed.
October 2, 2022
Someone told me today,
“I think you treat people with such kindness because you’ve experienced so much hurt; You don’t want anyone else to hurt like you did.”
September 29, 2022
If only we gave ourselves the same kindness that we spread to the world.
September 26, 2022
It’s okay to be confused.
It’s okay to not know the next steps in life.
It’s okay to not feel the same way for a passion you once had.
Take it one day at a time, and we will find our place. Because darling, you’re not alone. I’m confused too.
September 25, 2022
Be with someone who wants to be with you.
September 24, 2022
In a world of hurt, we are all just searching for a glimpse of safety
September 18, 2022
When you can’t find the strength in yourself, look to those around you.
It is okay to ask for help. It is okay to accept their love and support. We all take turns giving and accepting. You are not a burden for accepting.
Because their hearts, their consistency, it refuels your tank. Your strength.
When your tank is full (this is subjective), you’re able to rely more on yourself, and give back.
September 15, 2022
Lately, the weight on my shoulders has lessened.
It’s not that it has gotten easier.
It’s not that I have given up, per say.
What I have done, has refocused on attention. Shifted it to a new center: That center being me.
I am my #1 priority.
Realizing that, I will never be good enough for you, if I’m never even good enough for me.
September 13, 2022
Sometimes I still feel you in the darkness of the night.
Or see you in broad daylight.
You’re everywhere I go, haunting me like a ghost.
But, as time goes on, my fear of you lessens.
I can face your ghosts.
I can face my demons.
Slowly, I’m moving forward. I’ll be okay.
September 12, 2022
Be you, unapologetically.
You should never hide the beautiful person you are.
September 11, 2022
Find a reason to smile today
September 10, 2022
Feeling stuck.
Feeling lonely.
Feeling numb.
But i am finding out this is where the growth happens.
We must have patience. See it through til the end.
August 31, 2022
You Matter.
You always have, and you always will.
August 16, 2022
At times, home may feel unknown;
It may feel foreign;
It may feel forgotten.
But if you look closely, you can always find home in the smallest and darkest of places.
August 10, 2022
Every day is a choice.
A choice for how your mindset will run throughout the remainder of the day.
The mind is a powerful tool.
Will you use it? Or will you let it
August 3, 2022
You can and you will move past this. It just takes time.
You are so much stronger than you know.
August 1, 2022
There’s something beautiful about opening up to someone.
It’s not necessarily about them, nor how they react, or validate your feelings.
For me, I see beauty when I have the ability to be honest: not just with them, but myself as well.
There’s a fascinating self-discovery that can occur through conversation. Whether a stranger you met in the store, or your classmate and best friend of 10 years, it can happen anywhere, any day.
Never fear being vulnerable.
You are brave.
You are breaking your walls.
You’re inspiring.
July 28, 2022
Dreams really do come true. It just takes time and you have to put effort in to make it happen.
July 26, 2022
You are meant to be right where you are, today.
You may be dreading everyday, dragging a lifeless body alongside.
Or,
You may be jumping out of bed, running to peak out the window at a fresh sunrise.
Or,
You may be weeping in a river of tears, waiting for time to pass.
Whatever it may be, I promise: you are going to be okay. You are meant to be who you are, where you are, right now,
July 25, 2022
You’re Safe Now.
July 24, 2022
We’re forever chasing tomorrow.
There will always be another tomorrow, until there’s not. We make plans for tomorrow, because today it’s too hot, there’s too much to do, or we are too exhausted.
But, the truth is, we are hiding from the truth, today, and living a fantasy, our future.
July 21, 2022
You can be happy, and be real.
July 20, 2022
Don’t lose sight on the important things in life: good health, loved ones, happiness, and so much more.
Don’t take it for granted.
July 18, 2022
She sought out adventure.
She sought out change.
She evolved into something new, and unknown.
Yet, it was more beautiful than it was before.
Now, there’s a life in front of her with no limits and no expectations.
It’s just her and the life she creates Day to Day.
July 17, 2022
Wander.
July 15, 2022
Are you proud of the life you’ve made?
Would the childhood version of yourself agree?
July 14, 2022
Let it come to you
Let the wind blow through your hair
Let your emotions take their course
Let people in
Let people go
Letting life be,
As it is,
Is how we become alive.
July 13, 2022
If you’re scared, that probably means it’s worth it.
July 12, 2022
Sometimes, the best you can do is just keep moving forward.
Though it was tough and brought you pain, leave yesterday in the past.
Don’t dwell on what happened or you’ll never see what is now.
July 10, 2022
Where are you running to? There’s no rush, you’ll get there when you get there.
July 7, 2022
I was told from someone in Ireland that when I go back, I need to fight. Fight hard, with claws, and never stop.
July 6, 2022
When you live in fear, you are not living in the present.
You are living in a world that is not your own, it is unknown to all.
July 5, 2022
She’s come a long way from home: or what home once was.
Home being a building she transformed in for 17 years.
Home being a corpse she drags along occasionally.
Home being this sense of peace that was once brought to her and is now unrecognizable.
Her “home” is forever-changing. And as she builds little stick huts along the way, her character continues to build and she begins to realize she has always had value and worth.
Her corpse changes and fails day-to-day, but her heart and soul are the only constant home.
July 3rd, 2022
When she was struck with doubt and fear, at times she let no one near.
As her walls kept growing into these borders encompassing her soul, at last, she discovered that everyone will build to her walls.
She is the only one who can make a difference in her life. Other can assist and be present in vital situations. Yet, only she can choose what to do, how to feel, what to be, and how to move forward.
July 2, 2022
When in doubt, go to Porto, Portugal.
It’s cool.

They turned their back on an unforgiving life they weren’t destined for.
June 30, 2022
They lived fearlessly and learned endlessly.
June 29, 2022
If you cannot figure out what to do, choose you.
June 28, 2022
You have purposely been created to be this persona you are now. That person is beautiful, perfectly imperfect, and more than enough.
June 27, 2022
This life is yours: no one else’s.
Live based on what your heart desires.
June 26, 2022
No matter how many miles you run, nor how many oceans you cross, you can’t escape the ghosts of your past.
June 25, 2022
I don’t need all the grand things in life.
It’s the simple things: Sunsets and Smiles.
I just need to be present.
July 23, 2022
There’s no rush to have it all: get anywhere or be anyone. You’ll always be where you’re meant to in life.
June 22, 2022
Take a look around you. All the little things, like the yellow building next door, the cobblestone path, the grinning buddy of yours; one day, you will no longer have these things.
Make them last.
Remember these experiences.
Connect deep.
Live fearlessly.
June 21, 2022
It’s difficult, sometimes even dangerous, to move forward if you are still looking back at the path you once walked through.
Don’t look back; let the camera capture it.
June 20, 2022
One’s sorrow can only match their love for who wounded them.
