journal entry #10

let go the idea of perfection~ you are not perfect, you are real. let yourself be flawed,and allow yourself to make mistakes. Recognize that you're not always gonna have it all together. sometimes your heart is going to break, you are going to get hurt, you are going to feel pain. Don't apologize for being broken~ every time you break you become a little more alive. you become more open with yourself. you become exposed to your sensibility. every crack tells you a little more about yourself~ your strength, your courage, your tenacity~ what you're made of. 

do not hide these pieces from the world, they are a part of who you are. you see? the most beautiful people are beautifully broken. their hearts are heavy but they love the deepest. they have seen the dark but they appreciate everything that shines. they're compassionate, understanding, and empathetic.

beautiful hearts don't just happen, you my dear friend are going to show the world how beautiful you truly are.
