    “The monsters were never
    under my bed.
    Because the monsters
    were inside my head.


    I fear no monsters,
    for no monsters I see.
    Because all this time
    the monster has been me.”

    Nikita Gill
    “Tell your daughters how you love your body.
    Tell them how they must love theirs.

    Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—
    from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,
    whether there is a little of them or a lot,
    whether freckles cover their face or not,
    whether their curves are plentiful or slim,
    whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short.

    Tell them how they inherited
    their ancestors, souls in their smiles,
    that their eyes carry countries
    that breathed life into history,
    that the swing of their hips
    does not determine their destiny.

    Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued.
    Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful
    because every woman’s soul is unique.”
    ― Nikita Gill, The Girl and the Goddess: Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom

    “There are human beings in this world who are soft enough to feel every terrible thing that happens so deeply. And are still brave enough to remain constant and suffer for those who need them the most. Even the stars blink in awe of the gleam of their souls.”

    C. JoyBell C.
    “There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”
    ― C. JoyBell C.

    Coco Chanel
    “It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
    ― Coco Chanel
