unafraid ...

be every bit 

of who you are. 

dare 

to live a life 

that says

"i am unafraid."

don't wait ...

don't wait until someone walks away from you 

to realize how much you want that person in your life, 

how much you need that person in your life, 

or the extent that you are willing to go to 

to keep that person in your life. 

because sometimes when people walk away, 

they close the door behind them, 

and every time they take a step forward,

they are stepping on a piece 

that they reached back and lifted 

from the path which they no longer walk on 

with you. 

and eventually that path is so broken 

and the distance is so great

that neither one of you

can reach the other 

and your connection 

no longer 
exists ...

choose love

i would rather breathe love 

and risk looking crazy

than breathe crazy

and just look like love

i would rather be whole

and look incomplete

than look whole

and know that parts of me are missing

i would rather take a chance on something that i know is great

than succeed with something that i know is marginal at best ...

#chooselove

what do you stand for?

i prefer to spend my time with

and be connected to

people who prioritize love

and authentic living
