The pain in my chest grew, and I tried to breathe. But I couldn't.
There is always a reason to breathe. Even if your lungs are empty, fill them with the air of promise and possibility.
Sometimes all you can do is lie in bed, and hope to fall asleep before you fall apart.
Love isn't always easy. Sometimes it's hard, painful, and seemingly impossible. But it's worth fighting for.
Sometimes the people who hurt you the most are the ones who claim to love you.
You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.
Don't let the darkness of your past overshadow the brightness of your future.
You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.
It's okay to not be okay. Just remember to reach out for help when you need it.
The only way to truly conquer fear is to face it head-on.
