Be Brave



Words are the most interesting things in the World -- they can wound, they can heal, they can be spoken and be fault, unspoken and still be truth. The can be felt within the heart, even if they are never uttered, leaving them forever forsaken to the world.


I have always wondered if there were words that I wish I could give to others, or perhaps others could give to me. If I were braver, perhaps I would say a great deal more. Maybe I would tell that friend how I really felt about their choices they're making, maybe they would do the same. Maybe I could save someone a life of feeling as if they were lost. 


So, here are a few words for those who might need them... I won't say who they are to, simply that they are. 


It is better to love and lose that love than to never love at all. It is true, as cliche as it feels, you really have to feel it deep down to your toes. 
I love you, truly, madly, deeply... but that doesn't mean I have to be selfish, and neither do you.
The only one who can hold you back is you, no one else has that power over you, trust me... I gave the power to someone else and looking back, I did that all by myself.
I was the best thing that walked in your life, I was also the best thing that walked out.
You're a liar, a cheat, and a wreck. Fix yourself because you wrecked yourself.
Don't give up, keep your heart open, no matter how many times it hurts. That heart is the gateway to your soul, it is part of who you are, and it is beautiful.
You bring violence out in me, and not the kind which is at all sexy.
You made me a better person, even if it meant you went away. That's okay. I still thank you for walking through my life, you helped me become the amazing woman I am today. I love your memory, just not you anymore. And I'm thankful for that too.
Stop living your life chained, you're holding back for what? He's not worth it.
I understand you're unhappy, I get that you're in pain. It doesn't mean you have to inflict pain on others. Try healing someone else instead, maybe you can heal your own pain too.
You are worth it. You are worth the fairy tale, the white horse, the knight riding out for you. Anyone who says you're not, isn't worth your time.
I'd love to know what you're thinking... but it scares me it wouldn't be what I hoped it was, so I don't ask. 
Give yourself entirely or don't give yourself at all. No one can do anything with half their heart and it be worth a damn.
Love isn't bad. Your judgement is.
Jaded isn't sexy, I don't care what the songs make it out to be. Try to smile instead.
Just because you don't agree doesn't mean that person has to agree with you because of it. Remember, their thoughts and feelings count for something too.
Not every man is an asshole, you're just looking in all the wrong places.
You won't find happiness at the bottom of the bottle, but you might find it by throwing the bottle away.
No one is irreplaceable, not you, not I. But you can be priceless, if you aren't so focused on them replacing you if you don't stop trying so hard.
You can't turn a whore into a house wife.... you can't turn stupid into brilliance... and you can't turn lust into love.
You're prettier without the fake you hide behind.
People come, people go, and you will stand alone. That's okay. Embrace it and move on.
Someone else can't fix you, you have to do that yourself. That's too much pressure to put onto someone else, they'll fail every time. Pull up your big "boy/girl" pants and do it your damn self. Stop waiting on someone else to pick up the pieces.
We all give a piece of ourselves to those we love, that's the reason we feel so inclined to their memories. That's not destiny, it's human nature.
I'll always be here for you, even if you don't want me to be. I love you enough to understand.
You are perfect. I don't give a shit what they have to say about it.
I love you now, I love you forever, I love you always.
 Not all of these words were meant for one particular person, not all of them were meant for anyone in particular. But, I wanted to put them out into space simply to say they exist, even if you don't know it. They are there, somewhere, instead of each of us. 

Be brave.
