“By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.”

how can you tell me that soulmates aren’t real when you’ve turned to look at a loved one and made faces at each other when someone says something funny or stupid and your first instinct is to look at them and stare at each other in amusement. love is real

“you are evolving, and so will your love language. feel no guilt for requiring a different kind of love than you’re used to. a different kind of love than you’re familiar with. a different kind of love than you’re conditioned to. know your worth at every phase of your growth.”

“some people will not like the version of you that you are becoming because the older version of you is more comfortable for them, more understandable to them, more resonant with them. if your growth intimidates them, you’re not obligated to keep making space for what shrinks you.”

Somewhere along my journey, I learned that letting go was the same as giving up, and giving up is weakness. This has harmed my ability to let go in a healthy way immeasurably. It took me much too long to learn that letting go is not giving up. Letting go is recognising you are holding on to a situation that does not serve you in any way and has become unhealthy. It is knowing when to step away no matter how much it hurts to do so because you have the courage to let something or someone go.

For anyone trying to get over someone right now:

• It’s possible for you to be happy without him because you were happy before him
• Think about all the people you’ve felt this way about in the past and how little you care about them now
• People make time for what they want to make time for and you don’t deserve anything less than first place
• Remember when you had to convince yourself he was good enough for you?
• Think about all the things you loved doing with him and ask yourself if you could be just as happy doing those same things with someone else (someone better)
• Shift your energy to something else- everytime you start thinking about him open a book or start a yoga class or cook
• Just because it was comfortable doesn’t mean it was meant to be
• Write down all the things you hated about him- literally every little thing that annoyed you. Then burn it along with any pictures of him you have
• Write down all the things you think he’s going to miss about you. Keep that list somewhere you’ll see it everyday
• Finally- If he wanted to, he would have. And there’s someone out there who will.

There’s a difference between being perfectly fine with someone and being the absolute happiest you can be. And that difference lies somewhere among how they talk to you when you’re with other people and how they kiss you when you’re alone.

There’s “obvious, meant to be love” and then there’s “holy shit how did I not see this” love. And I’m not going to say that one’s better than the other but one is built on years of all different kinds of feelings and it’s not the obvious one.
