“Paintings will always be the greatest art to me, since I never liked talking to others, they are my way of expressing myself, with small spots that anyone could do, although few understand.”

“Doubt

Everything started with doubt and I asked myself something, I think about that all the time… I was a kid, and I had a lot in mind back then, so even knowing the answer I kept quiet, even knowing it was bothering me, I kept lying, I did what I thought I had to and I kept it a secret, so I could keep going.
And It was perfect until it wasn't until that little, unpredictable nuisance held me back, everything I have done until now was nothing but a waste, all full of lies, hypocrisy, and fears.
My whole world fell apart when I realized that ignoring that stupid fact about me was too big to hide and would affect the rest of my life.
My happiness was endangered, my reputation, my relationships, everything was going down just because I was afraid of accepting something that could, I don't say would cause no one knows that for sure, make my life better.
You know, enjoyable.”
― Vaid Nertae.

“We never voiced the question, our unspoken truth lay bare.
Yet, in silence, I yearned for you to dare to care.
For had you asked, my resolve might have swayed,
And a different path, perhaps, we both could have made.

Fear was our shared companion, a silent, looming shade.
You, with dreams of freedom, chose to flee, to evade.
I was not a burden, nor a chain to your stride,
But the echo of your choice left my heart bruised and divided.”

“What I deserved and what I could expect from life were two different things.”
― Meredith Russo, If I Was Your Girl
