May your heart be as big as your dreams. Word is bond.

If your heart is heavy, if it is weary, if the storms feel like they will never pass, if the load is too much to bear, fret not; the low feeling, the circumstance at present, is not indicative of your value as a human, as a spirit. You will be ok. You will get through this.
I only speak what I see, what I feel, what I know; if it reverberates, if it resonates, if it strikes a chord, or reaches you in the space you reside in presently, I am grateful that you are still feeling, still seeing, that things still stir your insides, too.
In order to heal, one must love. In order to learn, one must love. In order to forgive, one must love. In order to grow, one must love. Love is always the passageway.
You are getting where you want to be; you are already where you need to be. Pinky swear.
The greatest compliment one can give to an open spirit and heart, is to be gentle, to reciprocate the energy bestowed, and to be honest if and when there is a shift in what can be given. This, is generosity.
i hope my memory makes the teeth grit, makes the salt of your skin slide down razors. i hope i stain.
Real growth, growth that changes you, that can shape and affirm your path and help to guide you on your journey, happens when we begin trusting in the in between space of the unknown. Embrace it.
Technology has made it far too easy for people to be lazy communicators, to be easily distant, to not be present and show up in the ways that require work, and being able to be held accountable when you fail to be and do better as a human.
your fear will drown you if you let it. don’t.
Owning your story — taking ownership of your flaws and faults, your peaks and valleys, your blessings and storms, releases you from the power they have over your life. Take notice.
Celebrate people, man. like, it ain’t hard — whenever you feel envy or bias creeping in, or you feel your heart turning callous, find people to praise, to celebrate, to affirm; relieve your heart of that burden.
Stop asking 'What am i getting out of this?' and start asking, 'What can i give to this?' because, gratitude.
There is something very magical that occurs when we begin operating from the 'giving' instead of 'taking' space.
love requires space and light; so do plants. so do you.
Don't normalize toxicity.
complaining about "what was" ain't changing "what is." go out, handle your business, tend to your gardens, and water your grass...
focus less on the support you're NOT getting, and more on the support that you are.
if what i build cannot feed others after i have gone, i did not build it right...
your blessings were meant to be counted and shared
