Awareness Quote by Laurence BL
““While hugging a tree, I had this thought... People used to tell me I was too picky. People told me I should « lower my expectations »... But... Why should we? What if... I raised them? I'm amazed by how much people are portraying themselves miles from where they really are. And it goes in both ways; some say they have gone much further than the path they actually went, and some say they have gone much less than the path they actually went. Remember that standing in your truth is also to be aware of your true value and recognizing the journey you've been through to acquire that said value. Acknowledge your worth, give yourself the love you deserve, and you'll come closer of standing in your own truth, at a pace so fast it defies the speed of light.””
