“No tree tries to become a certain kind of tree. No flower tries to become a certain kind of flower. The tree and the flower open up to the sun and soak up water. Thus, they grow into themselves. No judgment. No expectations. No commentary. Your task is the same. If you can stop trying so hard to become who you think you should be, and instead commit to understanding and nourishing yourself, you will bloom into whatever kind of person you are.”
― Vironika Tugaleva, The Art of Talking to Yourself

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places. —Ernest Hemingway”
― Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

“A mind that trusts itself is light on its feet.”

“If we’re really to give ourselves the best of ourselves, we have to be honest with the worst of ourselves.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
