    Paulo Coelho
    “Reprogram yourself every minute of each day with thoughts that make you grow. When you're feeling irritated or confused, try to laugh at yourself. Laugh out loud at this woman tormented by doubts and anxieties, convinced that her problems are the most important thing in the world.”
    Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

  • #2
    Paulo Coelho
    “Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable. You don't need to do that because you know it already. And when you doubt it — which happens, I think, quite often at this stage of evolution — do as I suggested. Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it. Now go back and meet all those people who think you know everything. Convince yourself that they're right, because we all know everything, it's merely a question of believing.”
    Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

    Robert M. Drake, Black Butterfly

    “I had to learn to live without you and I couldn't make sense of it, because I left so much of me inside of you.”
    robert m drake

  • #7
    “I know how you feel because I’ve been there too. I’ve hated and I’ve loved. I’ve seen my demons root and crawl and my angels branch and soar. I've died within myself and lived a thousand different lives. I too fight the same war and I too am drowning in the puddles of self-consciousness this world created.”
    robert m drake

  • #8
    “Look deeper through the telescope
    and do not be afraid when the stars
    collide towards the darkness,
    because sometimes the most beautiful
    things begin in chaos.”
    Robert M. Drake

  • #9
    “I need you because I know I deserve you but let me fall in love with you one last time before I let go. So I can remember the beautiful imperfection that rattled my bones.”
    robert m drake

  • #10
    “Thing were falling apart. We just could not slow down. We were evolving into something greater, perhaps too much for our own good. And one thing always remained as I moved on. I saved a little bit of love just in case you would ever return home.”
    Robert M. Drake, Beautiful Chaos

  • #11
    “Society taught us how to hate. Hate taught us violence. Violence taught us regret. Regret taught us pain. Pain taught us love. Love taught us how to laugh and laughter makes every moment far more beautiful then we could ever imagine.”
    robert m drake

  • #12
    “One Day, You'll make Peace with your Demons, And the Chaos in your Heart will settle Flat.
    And maybe for the first Time in your Life, Life will Smile right back at You and Welcome you Home...”
    Robert M. Drake

  • #13
    “We think we owe everyone something. We think we need to explain ourselves and we think too much about thinking too much.
    And it is funny how we think we know it all, but the reality is this: everything we think that brings us together is everything that sets us further apart. And over thinking of how different we all are; is failing to recognize of how connected we all could really be.”
    Robert M. Drake, Black Butterfly

  • #14
    “Look deeper through the telescope and do not be afraid when the stars collide towards the darkness, because sometimes the most beautiful things begin in chaos.”
    Robert M. Drake, Beautiful Chaos

  • #15
    “Dear God, I am not like you. I am weak, my bones brittle, my heart filled with darkness and at times my demons crawl out from the walls you helped me build. I am just an extension of your brilliance but what would it be like to be a wave in the ocean of you. I am lost in your shine and I drown in your touch. So maybe I have ignored you lately but this is me reminding you that I, too, suffer and I, too, seek the beauty in humanity. So hear me, you are not alone.”
    Robert M. Drake, Beautiful Chaos

    Old photographs
    We take pictures with people
    so they could remember us
    and leave memories behind
    so they don’t forget us.
    And the difference
    between the two are the same.
    We leave these moments
    in the air,
    hoping that somewhere
    someone will find them
    and make sense of everything
    we chose to ignore.”
    Robert M. Drake, Black Butterfly

    “Fall in love with someone
    who tastes like adventure
    but looks like
    the calm, beautiful morning
    after a terrible storm”

    “You are not his princess; you are your own queen.”
    Nikita Gill

    Nikita Gill
    “It is eerily terrifying that there is no sound when a heart breaks. Car accidents end with a bang, falling ends with a thud, even writing makes the scratching sound of pencil against paper. But the sound of a heart breaking is completely silent. Almost as though no one, not even the universe itself could create a sound for such devastation. Almost as though silence is the only way the universe could pay its respect to the sound of a heart falling apart.”
    Nikita Gill

    “Not all girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice. Some are made of witchcraft and wolf and a little bit of vice.”
    Nikita Gill

    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

  • #23
    Nikita Gill
    “They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be. But honestly? Forget that. Don’t be beautiful. Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented - there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful. And what is beautiful anyway but a set of letters strung together to make a word? Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.”
    Nikita Gill

    “Teach your daughters their battle cries are needed far more than their silence and hear them deafen the world with their fearlessness.”
    Nikita Gill

    Nikita Gill
    “Everything that terrifies you
    these monsters
    that keeps you up at night
    that torment you
    that make you feel small
    breakable
    unable to breathe
    like you should not
    exist at all,
    you defeat them everyday
    just by being alive,
    this on its own
    proves that you are
    enough,
    and you already have
    everything you need
    to survive.”
    Nikita Gill, Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty

  • #26
    Nikita Gill
    “You see, yesterday, someone asked me, ‘How do you heal from losing the greatest love of your life?’ I smiled and answered, ‘You make yourself another one. And you make that love yourself.”
    Nikita Gill, Wild Embers

    Charles Bukowski
    “Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you've felt that way.”
    Charles Bukowski

  • #28
    Charles Bukowski
    “If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
    Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

    Charles Bukowski
    “That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.”
    Charles Bukowski, Women

  • #30
    Charles Bukowski
    “I will remember the kisses
    our lips raw with love
    and how you gave me
    everything you had
    and how I
    offered you what was left of
    me,
    and I will remember your small room
    the feel of you
    the light in the window
    your records
    your books
    our morning coffee
    our noons our nights
    our bodies spilled together
    sleeping
    the tiny flowing currents
    immediate and forever
    your leg my leg
    your arm my arm
    your smile and the warmth
    of you
    who made me laugh
    again.”
    Charles Bukowski
