Beautiful Mistakes

by R.J. Avenira

there have been men who have wanted you and sworn they were ready to play with fire but they were too weak to handle your flame

everything you need is already inside yourself

be careful who you speak to when they are careless with the secrets of others

sometimes you just have to cry until you are so exhausted that you can begin to move on

you are more than an option

one day you will realize that all of your waiting and mistakes were leading to a future of abundant happiness

stop losing sleep over those who don’t even bat an eye at the idea that they have hurt you

you do not know the extent of your true strength until you keep fighting even though you’re tired
