Cedar McCloud
“Some of us are able to alchemize our hurt into kindness and trust. Others repeat the cycle, weilding their wounds as a weapon.”
Cedar McCloud, The Thread That Binds

Erin Morgenstern
“You are here because you wish to sail the Starless Sea and breathe the haunted air.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Erin Morgenstern
“Thank you for seeing me when other people looked through me like I was a ghost”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

A.R. Capetta
“But it does seem like I’m always the one who has to speak up and tell everyone how I’m different. I have to find a way to help them understand me, even though I don’t really understand them either. Having a gender? Why? Feeling like your body and who you are inside line up all the time? How? Identifying with other folks of your assigned gender as a kid, when I identified with things like extra-fluffy cumulus clouds and nebulas? What does that even feel like? I get nervous trying to explain myself sometimes. I get tired. I grow sharp edges where I didn’t think I had any. And I definitely get to the point where I just want to bury myself in baking and not deal with any of it.”
A.R. Capetta, The Heartbreak Bakery

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Be gentle with yourself and make the descansos, the resting places for the part of yourself that were on their way to somewhere but they never got to. They mark the dealth site. They are markers of your dark times. But they are also love notes to your suffering– they are transformative. There is a lot to be said for pinning things to the earth so they don't follow us around. What is really means is laying your rage to rest so that you can create the wild woman.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves
