If you delibrately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life. Abraham Maslow (via psych-quotes)

Healing.

Since August, I have been seeing a psychiatrist. I don’t understand entirely why saying I see one has such a negative connotation to it. An old friend did not support me seeing one. I was seeing one for extra guidance. Things have been so rough for the past year. I wanted professional help, but I […]

November; The Trilogy.

This month has most definitely not been easy, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I have grown so much through this harsh autumn. Winter is just around the corner. Snow will fall. I will be covered in white. Made pure. I have learned so much from the pain my difficulties brought. I have learned […]

You can be sitting there, drinking coffee while your life falls down around you, with a smile in your eyes and poems on your teeth. The world is still going to fall apart, but you can decide to see beauty in the destruction. 7-weeks // a reminder to let the bad things happen. The Universe […]

There will always be excuses, fears, and insecurities […]

Immortal.

I was never afraid of death until very recently. See, I used to believe I could live forever. That’s no longer the case. I now realize I am capable of dying at any moment. I am completely mortal. My life can be robbed at any time. I could breathe my last breath at any moment. […]

Life Is Worth Living.

For the past few months I haven’t been able to sleep the full nine hours I should be. I don’t even take naps. I’ll sleep for about two hours and then wake up so suddenly. I believe I wake up in haste for a reason. I truly believe something is connected to my heart. Whenever […]
