To live in this single moment, this lightest breath, this softest touch, to be captured by this smallest, this briefest space of time, to be fully present, alive, consumed in this instant alone, this is truly living.
We all at certain times in our lives find ourselves broken. True strength is found in picking up the pieces.
Our lives a series of defining moments, strung together by passing time. Surrender fully to this moment, because it is not the moment itself that defines us, but how we choose to live in it.
Few are those whom this courage find. They keep their eyes upon the goal, and through this journey are made whole. A test of will by grand design, for fear lives only in the mind.
We are not defined by our trials, but by how we face them. We are all afraid; bravery is a choice, that though you may lose, you shall never be defeated.
The ache of grief is always there, but the emptiness will lift one day. Their life to us the greatest gift, and only by living can it be repaid.
When you are dispirited, held back, beat down and you have no one, you can give up, give in, or you can find those things you need to stand within yourself. If no one else believes in you, then you must believe in yourself. If you can not get the love you need from others, you must make room in your heart and give that love to yourself. You must accept yourself exactly as you are, all your flaws, all your faults, all your dreams.
I am still beautiful; for love allows me, to find beauty in imperfection.
I do not regret my struggles, my tears, they have strengthened my cry. I know that IÆve been given wings, that one day this soul will learn to fly.
Contentment is not something to be gained by possession. You can not work simply at being content, but must work at making a difference. True contentment is gained by the difference you make in the lives of others.
To cause you pain, only pains me more deeply. To make you smile, an even greater joy. To truly love you, I am taught the meaning of love.
Love in all it's emotion, surpasses the physical. Without even the faintest touch, it leaves it's imprint upon you.
We are what we give unconditionally of ourselves.
The answers at present elude me because I am not ready to hear them. An answer given must then be acknowledged, lived, accepted. The acceptance of truth may be harder than the question.
Who among us does not have flaws? Who does not bear scars?Each of our journeys unique. Our adversities leave upon us lasting marks. They show us all that we have overcome. Life; a constant struggle, and by choosing not to give in, we rise above.
Flying high, the memory of you takes me down, but for you I don't mind falling. Your love raised me to such a lofty height, that even as I reach my lowest point, I am still among the clouds.
Reaching skyward; no longer leaning, we grow well and strong, our friendship reinforced, in the knowledge thatwhether the branches intertwine or grow apart, we will always be able to find comfort, knowing fate has lent us strength in each other.
