In the words of @sistercody , the artist who wrote this beautiful quote:

“I wouldn’t take a single experience back. Everything that’s happened in my life has led me right HERE. Writing these words to you. The years spent in confusion and paranoia. The discomfort. 6 years spent in the freezing cold, but it was only then did I find true warmth. In the dark, I found light. In the pain, I found god. And from this place of being, every experience in my life now is an opportunity to bring me closer to this place. Every moment is a chance to know love deeper. And that’s not to say I don’t still feel pain. I do. But each time my heart breaks, it softens a bit more. And moments of pain and darkness just become an opportunity to know myself deeper. To be love.”

Anything that doesn`t align with your vision...shouldn`t remain in your line of sight. Set those healthy boundaries, respect the goals you`ve set for yourself, and remember that the path isn`t linear but it`s your responsibility to keep moving forward. 👏💛🌼

Life doesn`t always give you the green light but you don`t need permission to start. The beginning won`t look perfect and you may feel completely unsure if this is even for you. But you have to start somewhere, it`s the only way you`ll know what is and isn`t for you.

The world doesn`t change all at once.

It changes through small acts of love repeated day after day.

Send the text. Offer the encouragement. Share the smile. Extend the grace.

Small things, done with great love, have a way of becoming something much bigger. 💛✨

After everything you`ve survived, the fact that you still carry hope is nothing short of remarkable.

Hope doesn`t mean life has been easy. It means you`ve chosen not to let your circumstances have the final word.

Hold onto it. Protect it. Let it lead you forward. ✨
