Rose Under Cypresses Quotes

“Why are you always drawn to the broken ones?” He asked.
“We are all a little broken.” She replied.
“I am drawn to the ones who are honest about it.”

“Sometimes transformation begins with darkness.
Complete and total darkness.
Sometimes transformation feels like not being able to move— Not being able to breathe.
And it hurts.
When everything inside melts.
Moves.
Becomes different.
And sometimes, when we feel like this is the end—
that we have reached our capacity—
that there is no room to exist here—
in this moment. In this feeling. In this place—
We find strength to push just a little harder, to see the light.
To stretch our wings. To wake up. And realize that we have been changed.
And our souls are somehow more beautiful— in spite of it.
Because of it.
Keep pushing. You’re almost there.”
