softly.

I need to stop being such a coward. No reason to be afraid of being yourself, especially around a boy who clearly cares about you.

“The more I have shown up in the world as my true and real self, the more abundance I have attracted into my life. When I show my ‘realness’ people respond. When I speak from the heart I get asked back time and time again. When I share with people my own mistakes, learnings, and belly flops I send the very clear message – I’m not perfect – I’m real. This is the authentic me. And I know in doing this I attract the right people to me. Those people who are my ideal and best clients. Ideal and best friends. Ideal and best business relationships, partnerships, joint ventures and connections. Authenticity I have learned gives to me over and over again. It is infinite.” — Julie Parker (via internal-acceptance-movement)

“

A bouquet of clumsy words: you know that place between sleep and awake where you’re still dreaming but it’s slowly slipping? I wish we could feel like that more often. I also wish I could click my fingers three times and be transported to anywhere I like. I wish that people didn’t always say ‘just wondering’ when you both know there was a real reason behind them asking. And I wish I could get lost in the stars.

Listen, there’s a hell of a good universe next door, let’s go.

“I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be quite upfront and completely truthful you make my body forget it has knees at all.” — Derrick Brown, Love Language  (via modernhepburn)

“Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it. And by doing it, they’re proven right. Because, I think there’s something inside of you—and inside of all of us—when we see something and we think, “I think I can do it, I think I can do it. But I’m afraid to.” Bridging that gap, doing what you’re afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that—THAT is what life is. And I think you might be really good. You might find out something about yourself that’s special. And if you’re not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself. Now you know. A mystery is solved. So, I think you should just give it a try. Just inch yourself out of that back line. Step into life. Courage. Risks. Yes. Go. Now.” —
