nothing is the be all end all.
so you missed it.  the party of the century.  the trip of a lifetime.  the chance to meet your idol.   so you didn’t get it.  the acceptance letter.  the leading role.  the guy/girl who you pine for.   so you aimed and you missed.   so what? nothing is the be all end all.  nothing is do or die.  nothing is your one shot at happiness.   there will be another chance soon.  and another....

the survivor
you will survive.  the hurt, the pain, the giant walls standing in your way.  one day, it will all be no longer.  because just as easily as it found its way into your life, it will find its way out.  quietly, slowly, unceremoniously.  but surely.  that I know for certain. and you’ll wonder how or why this tiny little road bump seemed so big.  because it might be bigger than big right now,...

I dare you...
…to do the opposite.  if you always say yes, try saying no.  if you always distrust, try to believe.  if you stay up late, try getting to bed early.  if you always sleep in, try rising with the sun.  take a new path home, part your hair a different way, talk to someone you’ve never noticed before.  you might be surprised by what happens. {this was the very first “i dare...

you are mighty.
you may be one person in a world of billions, one tiny voice in a sea of noise, one speckle of humanity in this wide, wide universe. and yet, you have might and power and will.  you have resolve.  you may be small, but you are mighty.

there you are.
even when you feel like you’ve been swept away.  when you wonder if maybe you’ve lost yourself or lost your ground.  you stop & think & look & there you are.  always there.  always you.  even if when it’s barely visible, a hint, an echo, a sheer layer of chiffon, the you that’s really you is always there.
