Let go of comparing.
      Let go of competing.
      Let go of judgement's.
      Let go of anger.
      Let go of regrets.
      Let go of worrying.
      Let go of blame.
      Let go of guilt.
      Let go of fear.

Have a good belly laugh at least once a day
.
                 and
      Before you pray....Believe.
      Before you speak....Listen.
      Before you spend....Earn.
      Before you write....Think.
      Before you quit....Try.
      Before you die....Live

While you're busy doubting yourself, other people are intimidated by your potential.

In a drop of you, I lost an ocean of me.

"Autumn killed the summer with the softest kiss."

late at night, i lie awake
thinking of things i should have said
all the mistakes i've made
and signs i should've read

then think about what i can't live without
you, front and center in my mind
sometimes it feels like halfway love
almost, but not quite

still, parts of you make me whole
who i am and who i need to be
i think of love letters that weren't torn up
feelings of blue and green

when i'm without you
blank page, artless innocence
i realize how dependent i've grown to you
and feel the need to create a distance

sometimes i look up at the purple sky
and wonder if you're looking too
i gaze at the colors and the beauty of it all
though its beauty would never compare to you
