Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.
The people who are meant for you are going to meet you
on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort
zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of
being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are. – Brianna Wiest

Seven Things Most People Take A Lifetime To Learn:
Feeling sad after making a decision doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision.
Life is not tiring. Wanting life to be a certain way but not having the confidence to make it that way, is tiring.

It is quite simple — Nothing that is meant for you will ever get away. Love deeply, and without the need to possess or own; let beautiful connections pass through you without attachment, slam your heart into the people and the places and the things that ignite something deep inside of your soul, and I promise, I promise — the right things will stay. You will never lose what is for you. Please don’t ever forget that. – Bianca Sparacino

Find your people.
Those who remind you of your worth.

damn good to be around. Those ones.
