“ It is said it takes seven years
to grow completely new skin cells.
To think, this year I will grow
into a body you never will have touched. Brett Elizabeth Jenkins (via xheliotropic)

“

I am realizing more and more that if I am to be free in everyway I have to be honest in everyway. Liberty comes from truth with oneself. It means being vulnerable, cut open, and raw. It means no more hiding my feelings under smiles. No more pretending this doesn’t hurt me and that doesn’t heal me. No more playing it safe and being a prisoner of fear.

One of my greatest battles is holding back because I am afraid of pain. Afraid of what this world or another human being could do to me. But I know that if I stay like this, if I keep running away I will spend my entire life chained up by regret, misery, brokenness.

Life is a gift. Living is a risk. I want to enjoy my life. I want to fight for it. I want to take chances and risk pieces of me knowing that being alive means sometimes you get hurt. You get wounded. You fall. You fail. You at times lose.

But I am going to try and have the confidence life requires of me. To trust that there is nothing and no one that can keep me on my knees. There is no one and nothing I cannot recover from.

Before I die I want to know what it means to live. To love. To be me free, me proud, me true. And that means no more running away from what and who I want and need. No more hiding my dreams in journals. No more holding back my feelings for fear of getting hurt.

My skin is thick. My heart is strong. My soul is filled with dreams. I will live this life, my life. I will live it free and true and open.

“ You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too. No, I think there was too rigid a pattern. You came out of an education and are supposed to know your vocation. Your vocation is fixed, and maybe ten years later you find you are not a teacher anymore or you’re not a painter anymore. It may happen. It has happened. I mean Gauguin decided at a certain point he wasn’t a banker anymore; he was a painter. And so he walked away from banking. I think we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps demanding that we fit in and not disturb things. They would like you to fit in right away so that things work now. Anaïs Nin (via thequietrabbit)

“ Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them. Bill Watterson (via theriverjordyn)
