Proud of You

I’m so

proud of you.

I’m proud

that you keep

showing up

every single day.

I’m proud

of all the

tough decisions

you had to

make and that

even though

it was hard,

you stood

your ground.

I’m proud

that you never

gave up

on yourself

and kept fighting.

Despite

everything you’ve

been through,

you still wake up

and find ways

to smile everyday.

I’m proud that

even though

you’ve seen so

much darkness,

you always

continue to

search for the light.

I’m proud of you

and how far

you have come

and excited for all

that’s still to come.

Don’t settle

Never beg someone to remain in your life.

Never chase someone who doesn’t want to be chased.

If someone doesn’t see your value or your worth, let them go…

If they won’t give you the basics or the way they make you feel gets ignored, walk away.

Because you’re worth so much more than what they’re giving you.

You deserve the right kind of love, not one that you feel like you’re settling for.

Someone who makes you feel special, and that you mean something to them.

Not someone who leaves you hanging, and wondering when you’ll hear from them next, or when you’ll get to spend time together with them again…

Wait for someone who knows your worth.

Wait for someone who can’t wait to spend time with you so much that they make time for you.

Wait for someone who enjoys staying up all night just talking with you.

Someone who when they say wants to be a team with you, genuinely means it.

Someone who will cherish and look after your heart.

Because you are worthy of someone like this.

You are worthy of someone making you feel amazing.

Because you are worth it!

Wait for this person, and don’t settle for less than you deserve…

Bravery Strong WomanArising – lRavenwolf

I wouldn’t really say that I’m the bravest soul out there.

In fact, there’s been a lot of times when I didn’t know what tomorrow would bring or where I was headed in life..

And that was very unsettling to me sometimes.

I’d pretend that I was okay with change and the unknown, but the truth was that it scared me to death.

I knew where I wanted to end up and who I wanted to be, but it was the path ahead that remained unknown.

I learned something along the way, though.

Bravery isn’t the absence of fear, but the decision to keep going despite being afraid..

And that’s exactly where I’m at.

I want to keep growing, evolving and becoming a better person..

I can see all the people saying I can’t change or focusing on all the things that I’ve done wrong and the bad choices I’ve made.

They’ll say that I can’t change, I won’t be able to accomplish my goals..

And what I’ve learned is that they don’t know me at all.

They’re too afraid to step outside their comfort zone and be brave in the ways that I’m choosing..

So they can’t fathom what I want and who I’ll become..

Because they’ll stay safe in their little worlds putting me down and criticizing me.

Let them.

I don’t need anyone’s permission and approval to find my wings and become the best version of myself.

They can have their empty dreams of material things and lackluster nights spent doing the same things over and over..

Never changing anything but the car they’re driving or the clothes they’re wearing.

I’m not here for such small dreams.

I want more.

I need more.

And one day, when I’ve finally figured out where I’m headed and well on my way to happiness and fulfillment..

I’ll just look back at the ones who never really believed in me at all.

“You said I couldn’t, right?”

I’ll just smile with pride..

“Watch me now.”

And I’ll never look back,

Because my dreams never had expirations…

and me?

I will keep proving to myself..

That each and every day,

I can be brave, strong and free,

Becoming more and more,

The person I’ve worked so hard to become.

Plenty Love

“Dear Human:

You’ve got it all wrong.

You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. This is where you came from and where you’ll return.

You came here to learn personal love.

Universal love.

Messy love.

Sweaty Love.

Crazy love.

Broken love.

Whole love.

Infused with divinity.

Lived through the grace of stumbling.

Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up.

Often.

You didn’t come here to be perfect, you already are.

You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous.

And rising again into remembering.

But unconditional love? Stop telling that story.

Love in truth doesn’t need any adjectives.

It doesn’t require modifiers.

It doesn’t require the condition of perfection.

It only asks you to show up.

And do your best.

That you stay present and feel fully.

That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU.

Its enough.

It’s Plenty.”

– Courtney A. Walsh

Love is not enough

Love is not enough for a successful marriage. Love can be deceiving and may not be a reliable qualification for marriage. Love may bring happiness, but it does not necessarily provide the tools and skills needed to make a marriage work.

A successful marriage requires knowledge and understanding about how to live and commit to your partner. Understanding how to navigate the challenges of a committed relationship is a crucial element for a lasting and fulfilling partnership.

Love can make us believe that we can overcome any obstacles in a relationship. However, the reality is that many divorced individuals were once deeply in love with their partners. This challenges the notion that love is what keeps a marriage together. Love alone does not guarantee success in marriage. While love brings happiness, it lacks the necessary ingredients to sustain a marriage. Knowledge is what truly makes a marriage work.

Many people enter into marriage solely based on their feelings of love, without considering the practical aspects and challenges of living with someone. Our culture places a strong emphasis on emotions, leading us to make impulsive commitments without considering the practical aspects of a long-term commitment.

To protect and sustain a marriage, individuals need to acquire knowledge about how to navigate the complexities of a long-term commitment. This knowledge may include understanding effective communication, conflict resolution, compromise, and the ability to adapt to change. By possessing this knowledge, individuals can better equip themselves to build and maintain a successful marriage.

In conclusion, love is not the sole determinant of a successful marriage. Instead, knowledge about how to navigate the complexities of a committed relationship is crucial for a lasting and fulfilling partnership.

Scared Divine Masculine

If I’ve learned anything from life, it’s that sometimes, the darkest times can bring us to the brightest places.

I’ve learned that the most toxic people can teach us the most important lessons, that our most painful struggles can grant us the most necessary growth and that the most heartbreaking losses of friendship and love can make room for the most wonderful people.

I’ve learned that what seems like a curse in the moment can actually be a blessing and that what seems like the end of the road is actually just the discovery that we are meant to travel down a different path.

I’ve learned that no matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope.

I’ve learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can’t give up.

We have to keep going.

Even when it’s scary, even when all of our strength seems gone, we have to keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward, because whatever we’re battling in the moment, it will pass, and we will make it through.

We’ve made it this far.

We can make it through whatever comes next.

Not needing a man , needing a warrior Wild Woman ( woman in her natural state )

You Don’t Need A Man, You Need a Goddamn Warrior. 👑❤️👸

To my sweet wild woman, I know why it hasn’t worked out with anyone else—you don’t need a man, but a goddamn warrior.

You are the strength of Turkish coffee at sunrise darlin’ and don’t try to pretend that you’re not.

You are one of the wild ones, and no matter how you tried to hide that fact, you can’t be anything other than what you are—and that’s okay. You are just as you are supposed to be, magnificently wild in all of your chaotic beauty.

I know you’ve had your heart broken and I know that you don’t understand why it always seems to never work out, but I’ve finally figured it out:

You don’t need a man, you need a goddamn warrior.

It doesn’t matter if this warrior drives a Jeep or a shiny sports car, and it won’t matter if he wears silk or cotton—it will not even matter if he works in a high-rise, or on the night shift.

What is going to matter is that when it comes to taking bets on your heart, he is going to be high stakes—all the way.

This warrior of yours will crave your strength, and your intensity. He’s going to look at you and not see something to tame, but something to just fuckin’ admire.

This warrior of yours won’t be someone that you can manipulate or play with as you have in the past, so honey, don’t even try—and trust me, you’re going to love him even more because of it.

Because you aren’t just a woman, you’re a goddamn goddess.

Your fierceness is going to bring him to his knees every single time he looks into your gorgeous eyes, but the difference is, unlike the others, he isn’t going to be scared off. No, this time, you will have finally met your match—because a simple man for you just won’t do.

You need someone to match the fire in your eyes with his own. Not only that, my little wild thing, but this warrior of yours is going to want to encourage the flames instead of trying to douse them with his own insecurities.

Because for you, a warrior is the only man who will ever live in the wild with you.

He may not have to slay any dragons to earn your love, but he would still walk through fire if it meant seeing that amazing smile that you hold in reserve for only him.

This is the thing, free spirit, this warrior you seek….he’s seeking you too.

For he’s had failed relationships that have left him wondering if maybe he was meant to be alone for the rest of his journey—and you’re going to change all of that for him. You both have been travelling along on your separate journeys and have been doing an okay job at it, but that’s about to change too.

Because baby, when you and this warrior of yours meet and collide—it’s going to be a love set on fire.

Don’t try to run this time—I know your heart has been broken before, and that you’re not used to things working out, but this time it’s different.

Give yourself time to see that.

This warrior of yours needs to see that it’s possible for someone to see all of his wild, and still be there when he craves his freedom and ventures off into this world for a bit. You won’t always need to follow him, just as he won’t always follow you. Let yourself stay wild, even when all you want to do is curl up in that spot along his side and forget the rest of the world exists.

Let yourself still wander naked under the full moon, and drink moonshine with the stars. Let yourself feel the pull of the wind on your heart, and the sun toward a new journey. Because this warrior is going to love you because of your wild—and he’ll want you to keep it.

You’ll be in this together now, this amazing, crazy, chaotic, wonderfully heartbreaking life—because it takes a warrior to love a goddess. And it takes a goddess to show a warrior what real love is.

So pack up your insecurities and your ideas about picket fences, because that was never you anyway.

You were born knowing that you were destined for more, and now is the time for you to see what all those dreams look like.

There is no stopping a love like this, so promise me you’ll hold out just a little bit longer.

Have a little bit of hope, and always give love just one more try, because I promise you my sweet wild woman—the love that you seek is seeking you as well.
