Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
You are not here to please other people or to live your lives their way. You can only live it your own way and walk your own pathway.

Healing from our past is an essential aspect of expanding our sense of self and awakening our capacity to love. This shift often manifests as a change in the questions we've been asking ourselves.
