A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid if the branch breaking because her trust is not in the branch, but in her own wings.

Here’s to the kids who try their hardest to be good enough for someone who doesn’t care. Who listen to the same song dozens of times because the lyrics mean a lot. Who deserve so much more than they get and are willing to fight for it. Who give all they are to someone who doesn’t care. Who try to be someone their not just so that someone might be proud.

You’re stronger than they’ll ever be.

“I’ve lost all of my energy, but no one else understands that. That my mind is running with thoughts and wants constantly, but my body just wants to stay at rest. I’m so drained; there are times when sitting up feels like too much, when the world just feels like too much. But no one understands that. They just tell me I’m lazy. But they don’t know, they don’t know that I don’t want to be like this — that I want to do so much more than lie down.”

I pray you marry a man that will listen to your worries with an attentive ear.

A man that will take your tears seriously.

A man that won’t be annoyed when you falter.

A man that will make every effort to see you smile.

A man that will put you above even his greatest passion.

A man that will protect your precious heart.

“I think I’ll always be a romantic, you know? Someone could completely rip out my heart and walk away and I’d still be willing to believe in love again. They say hope breeds eternal misery, but really without hope, what else have we got?”
