“I know a few things about healing,

“Mothers carrying their own victimization pass it on to their daughters. Self-loathing and contempt corrupt the mother–daughter bond as hatred of women is shared. “A mother’s victimization does not merely humiliate her, it mutilates her daughter, who watches her for clues as to what it means to be a woman. Like the traditional foot-bound Chinese woman, she passes on her affliction. The mother’s self-hatred and low expectations are binding rags for the psyche of the daughter.”

“Kind hearts are the gardens. Kind thoughts are the roots. Kind words are the blossoms. Kind deeds are the fruits.”

“Dear whoever you are,

on the day we finally meet,
I imagine there will be
static electricity in your voice,
Your name will be the sheet music
to a song I've been trying to play by ear,

and we will fall into each other
like two stars that are tired of the sky.”
― Rudy Francisco, Excuse Me As I Kiss The Sky
