Your true friends are your sisters by choice, and your sisters forever. They won’t let you go no matter how much you try to run, and no matter how much you try to hide.

Your real friends are not the ones who shatter you. They are the ones that help you pick up your broken parts and stitch them back together. They are your wolf pack who growl at anyone who tries to eat you alive. They are your sisters by choice, and your sisters forever. They won’t let you go no…
I promise to be gentle with your heart. Your past left you sensitive and your lungs, weakened by people who ran over your every word. So, I promise to listen to you when you are angry. I promise to shower you with kind words, and never make you wish you never had met me. I will lift you up, and hold…
I promise to dance with you in our living room, chest to chest, and kiss you softly. And then I will feel your heart race when I chase you to the bedroom and hear it beat boldly. I will make sure to make your heart race with anticipation, lust and love for all the years of you and me. I promise to…
I promise to make your heart beat faster and to fill your stomach with butterflies even after thirty years of being together. I promise to clean up all the scars and cuts that other women have put on it. I will bandage up the memories from broken promises and wasted tears. I won’t let the broken…
I want you to know that my heart is yours to take if yours can’t work as hard anymore. And I want you to know, that I will do everything in my power to hold your heart in the light when you can’t find your flashlight in the dark. And I will kiss your heart over and over so you can feel my love being…
I promise to make your heart beat faster and to fill your stomach with butterflies even after thirty years of being together.
When I turn 24, I’m going to try to remain calm. It’s just a number after all. I’m not going to do things just because I feel pressured to. I’m not going to go after things that I do not want. I’m not going to do what other people think I should be doing. And I’m going to try not to feel like I’m…

Have the strength to look into the mirror, even through your worst days, and to smile. Because you are alive. And you are you.
Don’t let life break down your spirit. And please, don’t let it take the love you have for yourself away. Don’t let it diminish the light inside of you. Don’t let it drop your hope. Don’t let it break the faith that you have in yourself.
You need to believe in yourself even when someone is against you. You need to stand up for yourself even in times of silence. You need to love yourself even through the difficult and long days that try to break you.
You aren’t going to feel like this forever. Life will hand you every up and down it wants to give to you. Life will shower you with kindness, and then will bring your world under a rain cloud that doesn’t stop for weeks. You’ll go from loving life to hating it through the years. But don’t let life…
