As the modern world feels more and more out of control, take a deep breath and find the celestial words of encouragement you need.
April
“Life will bring you to your knees. Sometimes with pain, sometimes with beauty, sometimes with both at once. It will weather down your defenses and it will give you opportunities to love. It will disguise miracles in the most ordinary moments. It will bruise your heart until it breaks open. It will teach you, slowly, that it’s not out there, it’s inside. It’s all inside. It will go more slowly than you can bear and more quickly than you can imagine. It will lead you down unexpected turns that twist into destiny, and you will learn to trust. You will learn to believe in the releasing of the layers of illusion that stand between you and the realization of your soul’s deepest desires.” — Brianna Wiest, The Pivot Year

“Never regret loving someone with everything you had, even if it didn’t last. Even if you no longer have their number saved or if you can’t remember whether their birthday was the sixth or the fifth of October or if you wouldn’t dare say hi to them if you saw them at the bar on a Friday night. Because love is always a worthy endeavor, and no time spent loving another person is ever wasted.” — Molly Burford, Moments to Hold Close
