“I want the kind of love
that loves me when I'm too much.
the kind of love that lets me be,
and knows I am enough.
the kind of love that accepts me,
even as I change.
the kind of love that I can ride,
despite all the waves.
the kind of love that can see me smile
and know I'm not okay.
the kind of love that holds me down
but always lets me grow.
the kind of love that sees my rage
and loves me even more.”
― Rose Brik, My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage

“She’d told me that one day, she hoped I’d find a man who’d fight with me. Who’d love me even when he wanted to strangle me. Who’d never quit fighting because what we had was worth a few angry words.”
― Devney Perry, Indigo Ridge

“There’s always been a small, hopeful part buried inside me that felt he
must sometimes find his mind drifting to me, to us”
― Carley Fortune, Every Summer After

“I prefer silence to the sadness
of being misunderstood.
it doesn’t matter how I explain my heart,
he doesn’t love me the way he should.
days go by without words,
and he doesn’t ask what’s wrong
like I thought he would.
but I still prefer silence to the sadness
of being misunderstood.”
― Rose Brik, My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage
