becoming.

by Renaada Williams

dear beautiful soul i know its hard like really hard this thing called life its interesting to say the least i want you to know that i believe in you i want you to know that you are amazing i know that you are beautiful i know a lot of times family friends and all of the relationships in between want you to stay strong i want you to know that its ok if you cant be but i pray we can find a way to t o g e t h e r.

believing that you can fly is only the beginning.

some say if it doesn't hurt it cant be love but if it does you shouldn't want it anyway

the more i listen to myself the closer i am to the truth.

trust the voice your gut is pulling from - instincts

you are the prettiest bouquet of dying flowers i have ever seen.

don't stay feeling sorry for me i've been in so many pieces enough times to know how to put myself together again. - pity

decided i didn't want to be a pawn anymore but how else would i win if i didn't sacrifice pieces of myself. - love in the name of chess

there are pieces of me living within people who once held my heart pieces of me that i never want back not because i need them to feel whole but because i gave them away so someone else could.

me attracting people that need me but don't know how to treat me simply because i haven't stayed consistent and faithful to myself long enough to be found by someone that does.

everyone loves to talk about a sad woman as if she doesn't have a journey a message as if she isn't a walking testimony as if she will never be happy again.

and if your heart says feel everything, thats EXACTLY what you do.

being broken is a matter of opinion

never stop talking about your journey there will be people who don't understand that it isn't about wanting to stay hurt its always about trying to figure out how not to be.

i am not allowed to call myself different when theres a word for what i have. - depression

kept going not because i wanted to trust me, all of me wanted to stop. i kept going because i deserved to know what not giving up on myself felt like.

don't try to get into my head and make me believe the solution is in this capsule as if all of these years i've spent living thinking and feeling could be fixed that easily - zoloft

theres people out here who would rather see you hurt struggling and suffering leave them where they are and say nothing.

just want to live in a world that i’m not afraid to be alive in.

be brave be bold and remain beautiful no matter how bad you feel

our time isn't coming its already here.

there is nothing more complicated than not knowing what you want and accepting everything else that just doesn't seem worth it - meantime

you are not here to be everything for someone else and nothing for self.

there is so much beauty in growth change and practice. - pursuit

it will not happen overnight it may take days months or even years but in the end i promise it'll be worth it.

don't spend all of your time and energy giving someone else your life share yourself in portions enough to have some for them enough to still hold onto you.

understand that being strong is beautiful but so is vulnerability.

love is not meant to be this exhausting.

choose yourself your faith your intuition every. single. time. - never give up

we are created in the darkness and forced into light - new life

remind yourself to be more specific when you pray you cannot ask to be used by God and be mad when you are tested

stop saying i'm fine when you're not its okay to say nothing when n o t h i n g is how you feel.

you are allowed to detour as many times as you want as long as you find your way back to self.

you are the only one not putting yourself first

pay them no mind when they say you aren't good enough. only a fool can hold a diamond in their bare hand and not be amazed.

be so full of love trust positivity respect magic life and honor for self. that you just naturally ward off anything less.

don't wait another minute to do something that makes your soul sing.

i don't need anyone to tell me about love. because on this journey i discovered that life is challenging scary it can get hard cloudy and lonely. however i love myself enough to know that i am stronger today than i ever was before. becoming.

everyday for the rest of your life remember you are loved you are brilliant you are beautiful you are resilient you are protected you are loving you are worthy you are m a g i c ! - claim it
