Life contracts before it expands, and pulls back before it leaps forward. This balancing act is not something we should resist, but rather, embrace. - Brianna Wiest

There is not one more thing that you need to do in order to be good enough for your own life. There is not one more thing you need to earn, accomplish, acquire or change.

You think you have forever, but you do not. It all happens, and it happens quickly. You are not waiting on another person, or the right timing, or for everything to fall into place. You are waiting to feel ready enough to exist within the questions, to not need every answer, and to know that this life does not come to us perfectly understood, but to be fully experienced, in every direction we can possibly reach.

Stop thinking that being sad or broken makes you unlovable or “bad.” Your honest moments don’t destroy relationships, they bond (as long as you’re being genuine).
