The shell must break before the bird can fly
-Alfred Lord Tennyson
Don't worry about what they think.
Worry about what you think.
After all, you have to live with your choices.
They don't.
The next time you minimize your power in order to keep the peace, tell yourself...I am too awake to pretend to be asleep.
-Cheryl Richardson
I have always been attracted to the broken. Not because I want to fix them, I don't want to fix anyone. I can't even fix myself. Rather I know we connect on another level, a real one. We know what pain feels like. How it feels to sleep with a broken heart. Only to wake up and paint a smile on your face pretending as if everything is "okay." Because that's what people like me do, like we do, like survivors do.
-J. Iron Word
I've never felt like I needed to change...I've always thought, 'if you want someone different, pick somebody else.'"
-Melissa McCarthy
She spent more time on
her happiness than her hair.
She put more effort into
her fitness than her fashion.
She was simple and classy.
She was raw and dynamic.
She believed in loving with
everything she had or
giving nothing at all.
-Soulful Penguin
Not one drop of my self-worth depends on your acceptance of me.
-Quincy Jones
Close your eyes and picture the sun. That's what it felt like to love her, warmth.
-Atticus
She's a moon and she needs a man with a heart the size of an ocean to pull her away from the chaos within.
-R.M. Drake
I know you're broken and I don't say this just to say it, but I know you've been through hell and back and it has changed you. You're not the same person I once knew and it's not that I want to fix you or save you or anything that has to do with that. It's more like I will accept you and take your flaws for more than what they are. If you're hurricane then I'll be the sea that gives you the strength to go on.
-R.M. Drake
Without a listener, the healing process is aborted. Human beings, like plants that bend toward the sunlight, bend towards others in an innate healing tropism. There are times when being truly listened to is more critical than being fed. Listening to another's pain is a primary form of nurturance, capable of healing even the most devastating of human afflictions.
-Miriam Greenspa
Make your own paradise.
She will rise. With a spine of steel and a roar like thunder, she will rise.
-Nicole Lyons
She poured her heart and soul into everything she'd ever loved. It was no wonder why she felt permanently felt so empty.
-K.A.
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It is beyond me.
-Zora Neale Hurston
Take a shower, wash off the day.
Drink a glass of water.
Make the room dark.
Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence.
Notice your heart.
Still beating.
Still fighting.
You made it, after all.
You made it, another day.
And you can make it one more.
You're doing just fine.
-Charlotte Eriksson
She is so passionate,
that sometimes
it scares you.
But you knew this
when you fell
in love with her.
She is the sea.
She loves in floods,
with the intensity
of ten tempests.
Or not at all.
-Nikita Gill
She wore her scars as her best attire. A stunning dress made of hellfire.
-Daniel Saint
Find someone who loves you for belonging to yourself first.
-Nikita Gill
You don't get to judge her for the height of the walls around her heart unless you are willing to battle the demons laying at its doorway.
-H.D. Johnson
Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame.
-John Hurt
If she tells you she's crazy; believe her.
Don't promise her you can handle it
trust me--you can't
don't be charmed by her madness
instead, love it for the beast that it is
don't try to tame it either
because you will only hurt both of you
just gaze at her tenderly
ask her how she heals
and what she needs you to do
because she may never heal
but if she does
it will be because someone held her hand
through her darkest of nights
without looking away...
-Nausicaa Twila
...you think you've survived so long that survival shouldn't hurt anymore. You keep trying to turn your body bullet-proof. You keep trying to turn your heart into a bomb shelter. You are soft and alive. You bruise and heal. Cherish it. It is what you are born to do.
-Clementine von Radics
She was never crazy. She just didn't let her heart settle in a cage. She was born wild, and sometimes we need people like her. For it's the horrors in her heart which cause the flames in ours. And she was always willing to burn for everything she has ever loved.
-R.M. Drake
And she would bow to no one.
She's the gunpowder in a firework that lights up the sky, with a personality that holds a rainbow of colors for those brave enough to play with her fire.
-J. Iron Word
It's OK if you fall down and lose your spark. Just make sure that when you get back up, you rise as the whole damn fire.
-Colette Werden
I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.
-A.G.
Improvement begins with I
-Arnold Glasgow
She wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell.
-Nikita Gill
Thank you for loving me when I still tasted of heartache and war.
-Nikita Gill
Don't worry if you're making waves simply by being yourself. The moon does it all the time.
-Scott Stabile
Don't lose you
-Author Love Juliet
The shell must break before the bird can fly
-Alfred Lord Tennyson
