== Love Notes ==
Hey there lovelies. It's been a long beginning of the week for me.. as you can see I'm several days late again.
I just wanted to send a quick reminder that I badly needed this week.. and that is that we are not defined by our low points.
Sometimes things are not gonna go our way, no matter how much we plan, or try to make them do it, and sometimes we just gotta let the tide take us in a direction until it calms the hell down.
When it finally does, you're gonna still be the same kind, and wonderful person you've always been-- maybe with some new outlooks or experiences, or even some new lessons learned. We're never the same person we were the day before, but we can still hold onto the things that make us us.
Your kindness, your love, your laughter, and your tears... and so much more. Hard times don't define us lovelies, we define us.
I hope this week goes in an upward direction for you, and the tides calm down a bit.
Please know, even when I'm not around I'm always thinking of you. Take care <3
