“I will not be another flower picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find, and impossible to forget.”

— Erin Van Vuren

good morning girls our idealized selves can be our actual selves if we’re disciplined enough to put the work in 😘

Refresh yourselves with Christ's living water 💙 He is the only one who can quench your thirst.

when i’m happy, i’m the prettiest. I love that glow

i have never felt as mature as when i finally understood (through therapy) and internalized (through emotional work) that you cannot connect and communicate with some people no matter how kind, compassionate, understanding, articulate, eloquent, or smart you are, and that sometimes a person not listening to you does not reflect on your communication skills or ability to connect or straight up intelligence. in a way, it’s letting go of the belief that you have the power to make people understand you. communication is a two-way street, and needs two willing participants. some people are just walls, and it has been unbelievably helpful for my mental and emotional health to let it slide and know that it does not affect me or my self worth. 

“Someday someone won’t be afraid of how much you love. They won’t stay on the shore; they’ll meet you in the depths.”

First comes the acceptance of what is the source of your pain and hurt. Learn to be vulnerable with yourself and in tune with those emotions. Usually, we're taught to suppress them in order that we can continue to "function" in our places of work, school and familial responsibilities. But you have to create that space for yourself where you are ALLOWED to be upset, hurt and scared. And find pragmatic ways of resolving what's going on internally as well as externally if possible. Bring all your troubles towards God and be naked with him. Let him in to those crevices in your heart. Love you all so much and may peace transcend all that is in your lives ❤️.

Sometimes God removes things from our lives for our own protection. Trust in Him.
