“The sun must set to rise’. It’s a poetic way of expressing the idea that sometimes we have to go through difficult times or let go of things and the things holding us back in order to make room for new opportunities to change and grow. Just like the sun sets to make way for a new day, we sometimes have to experience the end of things we know or are familiar with. We have to embrace new beginnings and possibilities. It’s all about the natural cycle of change and renewal in life.”
― Kimberly Brown, A Justified Love Affair

“There is no thing on earth more dangerous than a man who refuses to accept that he is carrying all of these loads, because it then becomes up to everyone else to carry them for him in one way or another. Other people have to pay the price for his insecurities. If my father could not be the “man of the house,” he didn’t seem to want to be anything at all.”
― Brian Broome, Punch Me Up To The Gods: A Memoir – A Raw Coming-of-Age Story of Black Boyhood and Queer Identity
