“Sometimes I look back and think my whole adult life has been underlined with a feeling of waiting – waiting for something to happen, waiting for circumstances to change, waiting for the right man or the right job or the right shoes-and-clothes-and-haircut to swoop down from above and change me, to infuse me from the outside in with a feeling of well-being and validation and peace of mind.”
― Caroline Knapp, The Merry Recluse: A Life in Essays

“As I tore myself from you
I heard a weeping sound
You thread a needle
to darn the hole I left
and embroider a new plan”
― Collette O'Mahony, The Soul in Words: A collection of Poetry & Verse

“Relationships end because once someone has you, they stop doing all the things it took to get you.”
― Nitya Prakash

“The sad thing that many of us empaths don’t realize is that often our desire to heal others is a disguised cry for help for our own healing. Because many of us weren’t taught how to value or nurture ourselves at a young age, we tend to unconsciously seek out our own healing in the healing of others.”
