you are more than enough to hold someone’s full attention…

you are more than
enough to hold someone’s
full attention,

don’t settle for anyone who
tries to come to you with
theirs divided.

you are a golden thing
in this heavy, heavy world

there is just way too much inside of you for you to let this be the end

this world is
too wide
and this universe
is too big
and you are just
too beautiful
and there is just
way too much inside of you
for you to let this
be the end

heartbreak has this way
of making your world seem so small,
just taking everything that
has meaning and collapsing it into
one single story, with only one other person,
and just one version of yourself, in just
one version of life, with what feels
like no way out, and as if there is
nothing more to know

but this world is too wide, and this
universe is too big, and you are just. too. beautiful,
and there is just way too much inside of you…
for you to let this be the end

this isn’t the end…

your standards for love are going to make some
people uncomfortable. and they will try to make
you feel like those standards are too high.

i think it’s because those standards threaten
their comfort zones.

what you believe in either challenges how they treat
people… or how they’ve accepted being treated.

but none of that is about you.
this is your own life. and it will be your own love
and your own heart. so don’t ever let anyone make
you question your own standards…
keep them high.

if you can’t help but love with raw vulnerability

if you can’t help but feel with raw vulnerability,
just let it be a beautiful way about you.
some things are going to hurt. like. a. force.
but the beautiful things…
the beautiful things will be magic.

if you can’t help
but love with raw vulnerability,
just let it be a beautiful way about you,
some things are going to hurt like a force,
but the beautiful things will be magic.
