I don’t want to adult today. I don’t even want to human today. Today I want to dog. I’ll be lying on the floor in the sun. Please pet me and bring me snacks.

In a society that has you counting money, pounds, calories, and steps, be a rebel and count your blessings instead.

May your cup overflow with peace, love, and pure awesomeness today.

Tell your people you love them. Life is so fragile.

At the end of the day, I’d rather be excluded for who I include than included for who I exclude.

The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just as you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was part of your own transformation.

Sometimes I wake up and have to remind myself: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME. I have patterns to unlearn, new behaviors to embody and wounds to heal. But there is nothing wrong with the core of me and who I am. I am unlearning generations of harm and remembering love. That takes time.

What is the difference between ‘I like you’ and ‘I love you?’ Beautifully answered by the Buddha: ‘When you like a flower, you just pluck it; when you love a flower, you water it daily.’ The one who understands this, understands life.

As you get older you really just want to be surrounded by good people. People who are good for you, good to you, and good for your soul.

Maybe your life purpose isn’t supposed to be a thrill-seeking narrative. What if you’re meant to be the sunshine to someone’s stormy day? Or the voice of clarity to a frantic mind? You don’t have to be a superhero to save the world.

‘What if I fall?’ Oh, but darling, what if you fly?

Keep hanging out with yourself until you are you again.

Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s a cha-cha.

Mental health is sooo important. If you need a day, take a day. Find something to relax you. Bubble bath, nature, writing, painting, etc. Just do it.

If you carry one thing with you today, let it be this: You are brave, you are beautiful, you are strong, you are smart, you are loved.

I will not change who I am. I will not get angry with you. I will not seek revenge and be spiteful. I will only be smart and change the role you play in my life.

If we grew apart as friends, there’s 100% chance I’m still cheering you on from afar and that I still love you.

I don’t care much for things I can’t take with me after I die. Give me love. Moments. Purpose. Things that’ll settle in the soul.

Dear self, don’t allow anyone to trigger you. Let it go. Walk away. You’ll be proud of yourself later.

You should always tell people how important they are to you. Always.
