i think one of the saddest
connections is the rebound relationship…
you’re using one person to try
to unlove another.

so there’s nothing pure or honest
in what that relationship is, or ever will be,
as you’ve carried into it an unhealed bond
to what was.

take time to cleanse, to heal, to renew,
to grow, to become.

love won’t
ask you to be less of yourself,
it will invite you to
become more and more of you,
to step into all of you

but if it’s love,
when it asks you to come along,
it will not ask you to leave yourself behind…

love won’t ask you to be less. of. yourself.
it will invite you to become more and more of you,
to step into all of you.

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.

the person you are meant
to be with will be fascinated by you…

completely and breathtakingly
fascinated by you.
