Messages of Hope Submissions
You are so strong and so loved. Don't give up, better days are ahead.
You are not alone.
There is still time to be the person you needed when you were a kid.
Emotions are like weather sometimes: sunny, stormy and overwhelmingly cold. Like winter in Denver, CO, the sunshine always shines through. Don't give up.
One day at a time, keep moving forward.
You matter, you are loved, you are amazing
You are loved and needed on this earth!
You will always matter to those who love you.
Darkness and sorrow can be overwhelming, but know that even after the darkest, longest night, there is a dawn that brings growth, hope, change, opportunity, and untapped potential. Who knows what lies on the other side of that door; you'll only know if you don't close it and step through to the other side.
You have options!
You are amazing, unique and the world is a better place with you!
Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start and make a brand-new ending.
I think it's brave that you get up in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones ache for a rest.
I think it's brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day and you decide to fight.
I know there are days when you feel like giving up but I think it's brave that you never do.
This too shall pass. Keep fighting and remember you are LOVED!
Honesty over perfection
If you're looking for a sign to keep going, this is it <3
You. Are. Enough.
You are going to make it through this season. You are going to see the other side of this. You are going to find peace in the wild of all that does not make sense. — Morgan Harper Nichols
It's an important time to be alive.
You are a precious child of the universe. There is no thing or person who can make you any less precious. It may seem that way at times, but it simply is not true. You are precious. You are worthy. You are loved.
YOU ARE SO WORTH IT, BECAUSE "YOU" MATTER (STAY STRONG!)
Every day is another opportunity to make a new decision.
When things get tough, remember that diamonds are made under pressure. You got this!
It's always darkest before the dawn.
