Extra Strength

Beatrixx89

Everything that's broken doesn't need fixing, and everything that you want to fix isn't broken. We pull weeds from our gardens, we water our plants, we move them into the sunlight, we give them the love and care that they need. What do we give ourselves? Anxiety, depression, an overwhelming need to please others. How can we take the ground under our feet and turn it into something blinding? Are we even human enough to comprehend. 

Bring yourself the comfort that you crave, be the peace that you desire from others. Don't wait around for someone to make you happy, to make you smile. Go buy yourself flowers, take yourself out to dinner, drink that glass of wine, dance around in your underwear while singing out loud. Cry if you need to, you don't need someone's shoulder, scream, sleep it away. Comprehend that often enough you are your own enemy. And without time, it's just another faceless clock.
