Manisha’s Quotes

“But that love was not meant to destroy me. It was meant to lift, to be the flame that kindles, not consumes.”

“Sometimes, you lose somebody
to find that love
is meant to return home.

And now,
as I gather the ashes,
I know
I will live and love again,
but this time,
it will be me
who stands in the center
of that flame.
This time,
that love will be mine.”
― Catherine Anne Castillo, In the Darkness of Shards: Poems from a Broken Place

“We were apart for nearly a month,
hearts pouring across thousands of miles,
each conversation a bridge spanning the distance,
until the day it was time to come home.
I was home, but this flight—
home became him.”

“Confusion was not unreasonable. He who adored every quirk, every breath, turned cold, hating me for the very things he once called sacred.”
