I’m only pretending. I’m not all right with any of it.

This time around I’m choosing freedom. Freedom to feel every single thing I need to feel in this moment and know not one single emotion is in vain. Love is freedom. You have to be where you are, doing what you need to do with or without me. Love is knowing that I need not be attached to you to be in your heart.

"If you live in a world where you are the smartest person in the room, where everybody is pulling at you, everybody is drawing from you, everybody is nursing from the milk of your wisdom.. You are in the wrong room. You need to go into another room that makes you think again, that makes you read again, that makes you reignite your passion. You need to be around people who make deposits not just withdraws into your destiny."

"Don’t throw yourself out on another’s whim. People change, as do intentions and as a result, consequences. Live for yourself - Love those around you, but realize that they’ve got their own agendas."

We use love like a word to be thrown around whenever we want to attach ourselves to something or someone. We fear the worst. We fear that we will have to sacrifice our freedom for someone undeserving. We fear giving without receiving. We fear the unknown. We fear a lack of control. If something wants to leave us, we no longer believe in the love that exists, but instead we fear the lack of control to contain it so it fits our mold. And that’s a scary place to be when we really want to hold on to what feels best to us. However, we cannot control love and it’s that lack of control that makes us use love as a weapon. “I love you and therefore, you should do what I want you to do.” But in fact, the true spirit of love is fearless. Love, in its most perfect state, puts all fear aside and believes, wholeheartedly, in the power of its own presence. So when you truly love, you do so with no expectations, but with boundless hope, faith, and freedom. If you don’t believe me, let something or someone you love go, if it’s real, it will return to you.

"Whatever it is, if it doesn’t make you happy, walk away, give it away to someone else who wants it. Let it be their next dream; let it flee from you. Then you have room to grow, to allow magnificent things to fill the vacuum of those seemingly empty places. When you hold onto yesterday, when you hold onto dead and dying adventures, you have no room in your box for greatness.” - Unknown"
