a heavy relationship isn’t the same as a deep love…

a heavy relationship
isn’t the same as a deep love…
a deep love won’t weigh you down,
it will breathe into your soul and
allow you to be free

i think, sometimes… we confuse a heavy relationship with a deep love. and maybe it’s not so easy to know the difference. but i don’t think love wants to weigh you down… i think love will let you grow… and breathe into your soul and make you feel alive and free.

anyone who tells
you the fairytale isn’t real
just hasn’t found it yet,
or they settled for less, but that’s
their story, not yours.

let yourself believe in your fairytale.

to truly listen…

I want to really listen to people. - butterfliesrising.com

“I want to really listen to people. Like really, truly listen, and hear people when they speak. They chose me to share that feeling or that thought with, I want to appreciate that. I want the people in my life to be heard.”

and if you are in darkness,
and if they come to you,
and if they reach a hand down
to pull you out,
be sure that if you take their hand
you do not drag them into the dark,
but go with them…

go with them into the light
