Who knew
Forward is a mindset not a direction
What’s unexpected
is inevitable
when you’re trying to understand a plan
you’ve never seen.
If what you feel makes you full,
dive deeper.
Explore emotions people dream about.
Moments that hold everything—
and then some—
hurt when they end,
but they leave an everlasting memory
that refuses to fade.
The inability to go back
builds presence in every day.
It teaches us
to cherish life.
Your battles—
they’re tests of resilience,
checking if you’ve learned from history itself.
Break the cycle.
Let love find the soul that was once lost.
For every good thing, there’s a bad.
But choose right,
so you can skip the useless stress.
People will fail you—often.
Hold onto the ones
who give you strength,
who love you
for lifetimes.
Remember:
all bad things end.
Raise your chin.
Believe in brighter days.
Create what feeds your spirit.
Refuse any outcome
that requires settling for less.
Who knew…
that’s where the power really lives.
