Quote by butterflies rising

“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”

“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.”

“this love story has been a slow fall. and these wings have been a slow unfold. and there has been a fight here for my worth, and it sure has been a hard-fought one, and this road home has been a long one… but there’s a little bit of light here now. and even though it’s been a long time coming… the light is coming. and as uncertain as i am of how much farther i have to go, i know now that i’ve got it in me to keep going. and until i feel free… i know now that this heart won’t give up.”
