Quote by butterflies rising

“there is nothing i could lose that i would miss as much as i have missed the feel of my own soul when i wasn't listening to it, and i'm listening now… and it's telling me that i am meant to be where my lungs can breathe easy and where there's wing-shaped air to stretch into all around me”

“he said, what do you want? i said… you. he said, no. i want to know what you want… for you. i want… to search. and stretch. and grow. and glow. and drip myself in wild creativity, and burn and breathe at once in this skin. in these lungs. wings untethered, under the moon, into the sky, and to dream big and bigger and biggest, and to feel free in here… inside my anxious chest. to just. feel. free. and to have the universe say… yes, you are worthy of all this. and yes… you. …the way you give me butterflies and adrenaline highs, and who you are, and how you are, and how you think and speak and feel and exist and move, and there’s this feeling when you look at me… i think this is maybe love… how you actually give a damn about all this mess inside my head.”

“what if today i breathe easy here in my skin, and exhale, unafraid, trusting that there is a destiny-kissed grace saving me from any cruel wind that may blow back. i could stand a little stronger in my space… knowing that it’s universe-given and me-shaped. maybe i'll even glow a little here, be a little wider-winged and brighter-lighted. let myself consider that everything i am and all that i want to be is ok. and maybe not just ok… but what if i am perfectly on purpose. and what if i can trust that every next step is the one i'm meant to take and that even when i feel wayward, i'm still always on my destiny-blessed way.”

“i think i've always fought stillness with chaos… maybe because it feels easier… you can't be shaken from your footing if you've never even had it, right? but now i'm being asked to stay still in the uncertainty, to try to learn to breathe easy in all this delicate nuance… to start to question the way i've made such a habit out of fearful, so breath-held and chest-tight, always just hoping for gentle in the unknown… because what if life doesn't have to just “not hurt”… what if there could be something so beautiful waiting for me in the unknown”

“we can fall into others with so much intensity and gravity, but then, when it comes to ourselves, we can struggle just to find a simple acceptance. but what if self-love is so much more than just a tolerance of yourself. and what if the things that feel like they are just leaving you on your own are not, but they are asking you to learn to choose yourself… and to do it with the same kind of fierce and reckless passion that you have chosen others. and what if that's what this part of your journey is for.”

“Just as I was about to end my life, I received the blessings of deep silence. A gentle but firm voice spoke to me, saying: “Jacqueline, hold on a little longer. Your negative life experiences are nothing compared to the positive adventures you will have in the future. The world has so much more to offer than you can imagine. Keep on trusting. I’m here with you.” Hearing this message and feeling the power of something greater than my own will to survive was another turning point in my life. In that moment, I became a believer in God.”
