I almost clipped my own wings because lack of belief or faith in my own abilities. Don’t sell your “soul” or “dreams” to someone that isn’t going to appreciate it as much as you do. ✨ Somebody recently said to me, “why would you clip your own wings?” when discussing future endeavors, etc. I was like damn, here is someone that sees my potential more than I do. This man didn’t want to clip my wings and/or take advantage of my vulnerability and drive. He gave me back the steering wheel and said, fly high. You don’t need me. Much love to people like this. It can change one’s own trajectory into genuine and authentic greatness. 💪💛

You have so much more to give, to share, to experience, and to care about. You’re not done. You are just beginning… A new chapter.. Some pages might be worn or torn, but unwritten up ahead. It’s up to you what comes next. I trust this next chapter. Because I’m the author and my universe is starting to align with who I want to be…powered by lessons learned from the teaching moments of my past. 💪💛 Enjoy your day, ~Gerard

Sometimes my mind feels heavy, A storm that won’t let go. I stumble through the darkness, Where no one seems to know. Addiction whispers always A voice I try to fight. It tells me I am broken, But I won’t give up the fight. Angels walk beside me, In faces, words, and care. A hand to hold, a shoulder, A heart that’s always there. I breathe, I pause, I notice, The little sparks of light. Hope is not a thunder, It’s a whisper in the night. So if you feel the struggle, Or shadows press you down, Remember you are worthy, And love can still be found.

"No matter how many substances we've put in our body or bad choices we've made. It's never too late to rebuild and recover. Our bodies find a way. Humans adapt. That's what we do. Just give yourself a chance and follow it through.” 🙏✨
