It can be hard to be conscious in the moment and remember to be kind to ourselves when someone hurts us. But you need to try.

Please.

We forget there is still a child in all of us, begging for love.

Things always feel like they’re moving and I never get the chance to catch up to them and when I do, it feels like it all goes too quickly.

I know that at least once, if not several times, someone you knew woke up in the middle of the night thinking of you and wondering what became of you.

I know that the sun will rise every single day until it doesn’t, until there’s no more reason to.

And so, if you’re kind, your story becomes part of many stories.

This does not mean you need to fight more.

It means you need to find ways to fight less.

We forget there is still a child in all of us, begging for love. We forget that this is true of every person we meet.

There is only one real sin in the end, and that is not being who you are, not listening to your soul, and forgetting who you wanted to be.

It’s hard but without anything to overcome,

we would not become ourselves.

An easy life is not a good life.
