People pleasing pleases everyone but the pleaser.

Trying to make sense of what makes no sense can render you senseless. Let it go.

Life is NOT short! It's just by the time we catch up to appreciating it...we've already left life at least halfway behind us.

Suppressing feelings is never a good thing...if you feel angry, sad, happy, etc...FEEL IT! Go somewhere & scream, sit in silence, cry, laugh til your stomach hurts! Just don't let it linger...what you suppress you also subconsciously attract! Not attracting what you want out of life? What are you suppressing?

I tried to hold fire once...see from a distance it mesmerized me
captivated me
for hours at a time
The more it danced with the wind,
I felt my body sway to its rhythm
I tried to hold fire once
It's glow drew me in closer
And although I know full well the damage that fire can do...
Staring directly at it,
I know it's beauty too
It's warmth was now on my face and
I couldn't imagine being in any other place
I reached out with my bare hands &
it danced even more
And suddenly I felt it's heat deep within my core
Rising like a volcano ready to erupt
But somehow balanced & purposeful
I tried to hold fire once
until I realized that fire held me Passionately and
I was it's guiding force.
If you look close enough, you'll see it dancing in my eyes,
feel it in my touch,
even hear it in my voice...but don't ever forget that fire consumes and cannot be contained so I must master my energetic output to control the flames.

Don't let past relationships make you retreat in defeat. Be open. Be courageous. Be Fearless. Be Free. Love again. Be.
