“I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important.
Not until I looked into a pair of ocean blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing.
Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing.
Not until I looked into a pair of sky blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing.
I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn't seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is.
"Blue," I say, my voice low.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“This is your life. It’s yours to live or let slip away. We can’t tell you what to do, because the only person you ultimately have to answer to is yourself. No one but you experiences your pain and joy, and no one but you can take responsibility for your actions and inactions. With every choice you make, you alter your trajectory, and over time, these seemingly inconsequential decisions make up the fabric of your life. What is the life you want to create for yourself?”

“Tampon commercial, detergent commercial, maxi pad commercial, windex commercial - you'd think all women do is clean and bleed.”
