“Love the stale glitter on your tired face and the tangled bird’s nest you call hair. Love your wobbly messiness, bad grammar, and sailor cussing flair. Love the crystals falling out of your bra and the feathers stuffed in your pocket. Love the scariness of what you know is held in your little heart locket.”

“love, be patient with me
as i shed this skin
as i lie old patterns at these feet
as i burn and sweat
as i'm fed by this stream
i can be fierce while this vulnerable
i can seem far away
as these wounds i lick
as i writher, moan, cry and hiss,
and awaken within this
river carrying me home
as i take in this last breath
generous was this passing death
praise be the person i was
as i gasp life into
the warrior
i am now.”

“When I realized my pain came from wanting to be liked, I started to love myself.
When I realized my pain came from wanting to be acknowledged, I began to see the woman I really was.
When I realized my pain came from hoping to be special, I set out to explore the depths of my normality.
When I realized my pain came from wanting to be held, I let myself feel the sensations of my body.
When I realized my pain came from craving to belong, I took the first steps to nourish my authentic self.
When I realized my pain originated from the actions of others, I began to accept responsibility for my own story.
When I realized my pain came from chasing those who didn’t want me, I set myself free.”

“Rejection
taught her to let go of what didn’t want her. Abandonment
showed her how to stand on her own two feet. Betrayal
awoke her intuition. Pain
broke her heart wide open. Loneliness
gave her permission to befriend herself.”

“She's telling her story...
Because what happened to her killed her self-esteem and stole her worthiness. It made her believe she was ugly and unlovable. It riddled her with shame and guilt, and more than anything, it buried who she really was. She wants to know who that is, before she dies, because since the day she was born, she'd been wondering who she'd discover when the pain was gone.”
