But my love, you aren't trapped in a cage. Don't you see that glass ceiling is meant to be broken? That you're meant to rise beyond them and fly free once again? That it's just a façade trying to keep you caged? Dare to break free, all you have to do is spread your wings and fly. . So, won't you come with me and soar across the sky? — C a g e d A n d F r e e © Sarah Doughty . Just take my hand. .

Can you see it too? The sparkling lights overhead. The colors flying around like bioluminescent fireflies. The music dancing through the air. The smile in your eyes. The awe in your smile. The unbridled joy in your cheeks as you blush. Can you see it too? How you move me. How you move everyone and everything around you. How you envision our future together. How much I love you and all you are. How your dreams are mine, no matter what they are. And my love, I'll happily spend my life trying to make each one come true. — C a n Y o u S e e ? © Sarah Doughty . Because you're worth it. You are always worth it. .

Grief overwhelmed me and my arms moved inside his coat and wrapped around his waist. All I could do was hug him while I sobbed. After an instant of hesitation, he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. He smelled like wood smoke and it was home. — G r i e f A n d H o m e © Sarah Doughty . A little something inspired by my first novel, Just Breathe. . If you want to learn more about this or my other free books and where to get them, head to the link in my bio and click on Book Links. .

I was lost in my own daydreams, floating above the clouds, knowing I would eventually open my eyes and come crashing down to the ground. With no parachute to help slow my descent, I knew the fall would be my end. So I kept dreaming. I kept going. And with these reveries, I have hope. I have risen. And I am still flying. But the best part? It hasn't been the dreaming itself. It's been you. By my side. Chasing our dreams together. . Don't stop chasing your dreams. — R e v e r i e s © Sarah Doughty . Don't ever stop. .

Don't you see? We are nothing more than a blackened solar system. A set of dead stars. What was once a place full of warmth and light — with planets, moons, and gravity holding us together — all that remains is a relic. A memory. A place where the gravity still exists, but once the light fizzled out into nothing, it left no warmth. A deep, undying bitter cold. An infinite darkness. And no beauty to see except what twinkled off in the distance. . That was how I felt — how empty, how cold and dark with that gravity of us still spinning around in the pit of my stomach — that was how it felt when you left. — M e m o r i e s A n d G r a v i t y © Sarah Doughty . That was how it felt to be alone. . If you want to learn more about my free books and where to get them, head to the link in my bio and click on Book Links. .

Oh, my love, don't you see that there's no reason you should hide who you are. The wild understands you for who you are. Just as you are. You are beautifully flawed. You are perfect. Just as you are. — J u s t A s Y o u A r e © Sarah Doughty . Just as you are. .

This life of mine has never been an easy one. That's no secret. But I'm alive. And that counts for something, right? I may have made a home in this darkness. But home is not synonymous with prison. Home is not a place where I can't be loved just as I am. Home is not a place where I cannot be happy in my own skin. Because these scars are proof of my resilience. To keep pushing forward. To keep fighting. And I no longer bear them with shame. That weight is no longer mine to bear. It was never supposed to be mine. Home is a place where I broke through every barrier that was erected against me. And you know what? I might be bruised, but I'm fucking brave. I've broken through barriers. I've overcome. I've risen. I've proven that I am worthy of love and happiness. I have proven that I am worthy. To be me. To become so much more. Just as I am. And I'm going to keep going without apologies. . I make no apologies for who I am. Because this is me. Scars and all. — T h i s I s M e © Sarah Doughty . This is me, so take me as I am or get out of my way. . This was inspired by the song "This Is Me" by @kealasettle from The Greatest Showman. This is my anthem. .

It was beauty. It was the brilliance. The one in your smile. It was the chaos in my veins when you looked at me. The way it felt like flying, but yet my feet were planted on the ground. And for once, that foundation wasn't shaking beneath me, threatening to give way. — B e a u t y A n d C h a o s © Sarah Doughty . That was the moment I knew you were the one. .

Oh, but how much destruction we can cause when we just want to feel something? When feeling numb is no longer enough, what are we capable of? Let me tell you this, I never wanted to say goodbye. I never wanted to watch you leave, piece by piece. Until all that remained was a shell. A husk of your former self. And even though I had said goodbye to each part of you that left, the hardest part was knowing you were going to sacrifice everything we were just to find some of those pieces again. But darling, I was never the cause. I said goodbye long before you ever left. What hurt the most was that you took pieces of me with you. — P i e c e s O f G o o d b y e s © Sarah Doughty . And now I'm nothing but broken pieces. . If you want to learn more about my free books and where to get them, head to the link in my bio and click on Book Links. .

Darling, won't you look me in the eye and tell me you love me? I want to see the honesty in your soul. I want to see how deep it goes. Further than the brilliance of your eyes. Beneath your skin and beyond your bones. I want to see infinity. I want to see the stars. I want to see that through this life and beyond, that I am yours. Because that is how I feel for you. — S o u l H o n e s t y © Sarah Doughty . That is how I feel for you. . Special thanks to my sweetest (warrior & survivor) friend, Saide. Her strength and resilience never lets up and she continues to push me and show me the strength I carry in my shoulders. Love, I am so damned lucky to know you. Keep shining your light. . Words in the photo © Saide Harb-Ranero of @rappaccinis.daughter. Go show her some love and give her a follow. .

The crowns of burdens we bear, weigh heavy upon our weary souls. And when the moon crosses the horizon with a smile on her face, know it's me. Know that I'm there, watching from her eyes. Know that I bore what I could for you. Know that I gave you everything I had, and all that I was. And when that wasn't enough, you took my life with you. . But that was my crown to bear. That was my life to give. You don't get to take credit for it. — T h e G i v i n g © Sarah Doughty . You will never take credit for it. .

Maybe, at midnight, you'll finally be able to say what's in your heart. When there's nothing but us and the moon shining above us. Maybe then. Maybe you'll say the words. And maybe, if I'm brave enough, I'll be able to say it too. Because in the middle of the night, my heart is no longer quiet. It's no longer whispering, like the sun might catch its secret. It's shouting your name, hoping against hope that you'll feel the same. . So tell me, darling. What is it your heart shouts to you late at night? — S h o u t i n g H e a r t s © Sarah Doughty . My heart only calls for you. . . Apologies, loves, but I have a particularly nasty migraine today. . .
