This day as many days I think of you. The flowers you always bought me since you were little. I miss that heart of yours that was always my home.

Love a soft person. The ones who are positive, even in the worst of circumstances. Someone whose strength is not in bravado, but in their quiet. Someone who is strong for others because that is what is needed in that moment. Someone who is the moon that soothes instead of the sun that burns. Someone who sees the very best in people even when you think they aren’t worth it. The kind of person who always wants to do the best for those they love. (Because soft people cannot stand the idea of hurting someone that has bestowed upon them their trust.)

Love a soft person. The kind who looks at someone who is struggling, whether it is to open a door, or have lost their keys and will do everything they can to help out. Someone who would rather suffer themselves than let anyone else down. Someone who tries, not because it is what they have to do, but because they want to do the best by you. A human being that is always willing to communicate and talk things through. (The softest people will always ask twice if you are okay, when you say you are, because they can read moods and understand when you need someone who just listens to you.

To all beautiful souls……

Don’t let feelings of aloneness push you towards toxic people, or propel you into the arms of toxic relationships.

Don’t let those feelings make you shut down who your heart knows you are, just so you can fit in with people who would squash your heart further.

Let instead, that loneliness guide you to yourself, to the places that need more love from your own being.
Let it lead you to feel completely in joyful peace with your own heart for company.

Let it teach you to reconnect the lost threads within, the ones that connect your mind to your heart, let those feelings guide you to reconnect with your every pore.

Those feelings can lead you to what you really truly need, to what your soul whispers to you when you touch in with who you really are.
From that place, follow the golden threads within your knowing, the ones that light up when you touch upon something that feels like kin to your dreams.
These golden threads that shine in the darkness, leading you one step at a time, to places that feel similar to who you really are. From that place you will start to meet people who resonate with what you have become, you will be drawn to those who treat your heart well.
Do not give up on the essence of who you are, just to be around others who do not want your essence to become an elixir of life.
Find the emptiness inside and fill it with love, rest, plans, inspiration and adventure.
Fill it with life.
