She feels heaviness in her heart
What once gave her happiness
leaves her feeling empty

She tries to write out her feelings
but they remain inside her
like a bird locked in a cage
wanting to go out
but not knowing how to fly

Why do I keep on feeling this way, she asked herself
Why must I feel so deeply
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts too much
This aching in my bones
longs to hear the soft whispers of love
yet I am too consumed in my own darkness
I can't see the light

the wind blows through the leaves
as sunlight glistens
how i wish i could be as free as the wind

Did you know that an adult human heart pumps about 6,000-7,500 liters (1,500-2,000 gallons) of blood daily? Did you know that the epidermis or surface layer of the skin is renewed every two to four weeks? Did you know that the human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors? Did you know that your body produces 25 million new cells each second? I bet you didn't know that. Neither did I. We take for granted how fascinating and amazing the human body can be, yet we don't realize that we are a living, breathing miracle.

I am learning that there will always be people who will misunderstand you...and that's okay.
Because you were never made to please everyone.

there are so many songs you have not yet discovered, people you haven't met, concerts not gone to, things you never knew about yourself, places not yet traveled to, and letters not written or sent to loved ones.
embrace this incredible yet messy journey called life.

sunrises and sunsets remind me that there is beauty in both beginnings and endings. learn to enjoy the journey in between too.

We all just want to be understood. To be heard. To be known. To be loved. And to those people in your life who accept your imperfections and downfalls; those are the people who deserve a special place in your heart. Never let them go.
