Fear means you’re trying to move toward something you love, but your old beliefs, or unhealed experiences, are getting in the way. - Brianna Wiest

We all start as strangers, but we forget that we rarely choose who ends up a stranger, too

Make a list of all the imperfect people you’ve known in your life who have had love. Who have had romantic partners and best friends and jobs you could only ever dream of. Make a list of all the people who are conventionally unattractive and spiritually adrift and imperfect and all the things each one of them had despite being that way. Make it your own personal proof that you do not need to be perfect to be good enough.

Happiness is not how many things you do, but how well you do them. More is not better. Happiness is not experiencing something else; it’s continually experiencing what you already have in new and different ways.
