Be brave.

Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest — thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.

Beau Taplin

THIS IS SO ME.

“I really would like to stop working forever – never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I’m doing now – and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends.”

— Allen Ginsberg (b. 3 June 1926)

Don't ever stop being you, okay?

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.
