Where Hope Comes From

You cannot mourn the life you haven't live yet, only one that has already gone. You will never know the meadows you could grow, if you are fixated on the ashes of a garden you never had.

The bad new is, what was shattered may never be possible to rebuild. The good new is, what you make in its place will be better than what was destroyed.

We must remember that an ending is the start of another beautiful something, that there is always light to be had at the end of everything.

The universe had to fall apart into dust first to become its majestic, infinite self. What makes you think this trauma, this devastation, won't be the making of a more powerful you, too?

Burn every memory that does not help you grow. Destruction, too, can be necessary.

Empty out the darkness that has accumulated at the bottom of your heart, all the words you refuse to say. Your heart is not a well to poison; remember that. When the secrets become too heavy to carry, whisper them to the wind to be whisked away.

93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.

On the days you find the mirror hard to look at, remember there is a myth which says the face you have in this life is the face of the person you loved most in your last. I know it's just a myth. But think of how much more love you would give yourself if it were true.

A war is still a war even if it is inside your head, did you know this?

I wonder how I have carried so many regrets without even realising they were there.

Nothing will come of forcing yourself to compete your way out of trauma.

Throw away the knife you made from the sharp insults they gave you. Empty out the darkness that has accumulated at the bottom of your heart, all the words you refuse to say. Your heart is not a well to poison; remember that. When the secrets become too heavy to carry, whisper them to the wind to be whisked away.

A wound left unhealed is bound to open again. That's just what being human is.

Daily Mantra 5. There is no better time to learn how to love yourself than the mirror that silence gives you. This is the time to reflect on all those things about yourself that no one has ever taught you how to love.

sending you the moon as a poem

I, too, hope to be that confident in a love. Someone who I know will still love me, even if I do not run to them every time they call.

Just as there are five stages of grief, there are also five stages of hope. We are going to explore these through the rebirth of a star. So hold on tight. We are going to do the impossible together and bring a star back to life.

I learned how to honor despair so I could make way for happiness.

We may not know each other. We may never meet. But...I want you to know that no matter what you are going through, no matter how big and deep and painful those feelings are, you are not alone.

You put the forgiveness inside your chest. Look for it in the first chamber of your heart. It lives there for you, too. Do not forget that.

For endings to evolve us, they must be painful.
