“life is a mess - yes, but my god, is it ever a beautiful one”

this book was like super uplifting and sweet! bianca sparacino totally wanted to make sure you know you're worthy of love, and it totally worked to heal hearts 🥹. i constantly kept going back to some quotes and even sent them to my groups – whether i thought it would help my friends or family members. every line in this book has the power to fix a heart and bring hope, whether it's about love or just life ❤️‍🩹. but, to be honest, it got a bit too repetitive without really saying anything new. like, we didn't need every cool line repeated three times – that's the only thing i didn't like. everything else was really heartwarming though! <3<3

➛ some quotes that i loved sm.

⤷ “because at the end of the day, the right people fight for you. the right people show up. the right people care, not only when life is convenient, but when it is difficult and messy and it aches all over.”

⤷ “no one will ever fully be able to understand the internal battles you had to endure just to heal, just to grow, just to make it here today. be proud of the way you fought to save yourself. be proud of the way you survived.”

⤷ “you have to believe that your ideas, and your hope, and your being, deserve to take up space.”

⤷ ”even the strongest souls gets exhausted”

⤷ “if you were capable of feeling so much towards those who may not have always been gentle with your heart, imagine how beautiful love will be when it is right — imagine how beautiful love will be when it stays”

⤷ “i hope you have the courage to go deeper. to never exist on the surface of your life, even if it’s easier or more convenient.”

⤷ “it's okay to slow down. it's okay to take the time you need. you are in no rush to figure out your own soul. it's never too late to start over, it's never too late to chance your mind, it's never too late to redirect yourself, to replace the dreams you thought you wanted for the ones that genuinely excite and challenge you.”
