Love it even though other journeys look easier and more lucrative.

Love it because itsmine.Choose it because its where I belong.

Fight for it when its easier to give up and walk away.

Im slowly learning to stop comparing my life to others and put all my faith in God instead.

Maybe my timing was off.

Maybe I was trying to look for happiness in all the wrong places.

Im okay with trying and failing and starting over.

Maybe life is not supposed to make sense at all but that wont stop me from living it.

Im slowly learning that the best revenge is self-love.

Its the only shield you really need to protect yourself from others and the world.

Its the one thing you have tofeedso you dont starve.

Its the lesson every heartbreak was trying to teach you.

Its the one thing that makes the difference between someone who falls down and someone who rises above.

Its the one thing that will protect you from anxiety, depression, fear and loss.

Im slowly learning that if you keep choosing self-love when its easier to choose self-pity, youwin.

And you start making changes instead of excuses.

And you begin to understand that the most important commitment youll ever make is to yourself.
