Sheri Salata > Quotes

“I want to be loosed of relationships that no longer serve me. And with this comes an increasing desire, pounding in my heart like a drumbeat, to only do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and with whom I wish to do it. I am not interested in tearing apart others, commiserating over fear and failure (at least, no more than five minutes max), or revisiting tired territory that should have been abandoned years ago. I am tending to my own stuff, and my wish is that everyone in my life do the same. Insecurities, jealousies, and a thousand and one excuses for why someone cannot make better choices is a stew I will simmer in no more. And if you are deceitful or disloyal, then there will be nothing for us to share. I want to revel in possibilities. I want to laugh and dance and sing and drink great wine and celebrate and love and discuss the Universe and all its magic. My bar has just been raised. It’s a new day.”
