Walk With Wings

by Tene Edwards

Stop complaining about a situation that you have chosen to settle in.

Just because he craves you does not mean he wants to pursue you. Think about your value before you pay the price.

It takes strength to forgive without closure.

Your strength lies not in how you got the wound, but in how you nurse the wound.

You are enough, you always have been. Just not for him, but for the man meant for you.

If you are looking for a reason to smile, count every breath you take. I know you never chose to be here, but you were chosen to be here. You are a blessing to this world.

Be grateful for the things you are able to do, and for the loved ones you are able to see.

Never allow anyone to determine how much of a beautiful woman you are by the features on your face, the shade of your skin, or the size of your body. You don’t need anyone’s approval to feel good about the way you look. You determine how much of a beautiful woman you are. Make your heart the most beautiful feature you carry, because outer beauty is only skin deep.

To all the women struggling to love their looks, let me ask you something: who are you comparing yourselves to? Why is it that we spend more time admiring the beauty in others, and not cherishing the beauty within ourselves? Let’s stop searching for our beauty in the compliments of others, and practice appreciating the magic living within us.

This scar is not a punishment, but an award for your strength and bravery.

There is something different about her. She is rare, yet required. Not only fighting to free herself, but she is on a mission to free the world.

TAKE NOTE When you’re feeling like a failure, remember the grenades you have crushed, the setbacks you have overcome, and the battles you have won. This journey through life is rough, I know, but still with courage, you climb. This strength you have built will take you places. Be proud of the warrior you have become.

I believe in the woman I am striving to become.

Miss me? Of course you do. Did you honestly think I’d be easy to forget?

Sometimes you have to crawl through a little loneliness in order to bump into someone who will accompany you toward finding your feet to dance again. And don’t be surprised if that somebody is you. Because being alone will never outburn the loneliness grieved in the wrong relationship.

One day you will be someone’s favorite shell. Your face will be their favourite sight. And they will fall in love with the way you’re designed.

God would never take what is meant for you, away from you.

Judge me if you want to, but I am who I am and your approval is worthless.

I don’t need you to believe in me, I believe in me. I don’t need you to value me, I value me. I would never beg you for attention, I can feed that shit to myself. I never needed you, I wanted you. I can satisfy my own needs.

don’t tell me your heart is cold when you warm the hearts of others.

As of lately, it’s just been me and God.
