“For what it’s worth: It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.”

joli–coeur:

the calm before the storm.

i see myself as both — the calm and the storm. some days i’m patient, kind, gentle, and forgiving. others i’m neurotic, unsure, impatient, and spiteful — destroying everything in my path. i am my most vulnerable and emotional during the storm, and these are the days where i doubt myself or feel unfulfilled about my life. why am i like this? when am i going to get my blessings? why can’t i always be the calm?

as i have learned, there is nothing wrong with being both the calm and the storm. the storm is where i’m typically at my wits end, running on e, needing to fuel up with love, care, and hope. the storm has given me insight to my flaws and what i need to work on to better myself and my life. no one can always be the calm. both the good and the bad come and go in waves.

storms are scary. but within the storm, there is are lessons to be found. during the storm is when you need yourself and your guiding and calming light the most. storms don’t last forever.

i am both a soft, cool breeze on a warm summers day, and the harsh waves crashing against the shore. and i am learning from both.

My heart will always be soft. I will never stop looking for the good and love in everything. You can’t take that away from me.
