“Soulmates aren't just lovers – they're friends too. Your soulmates naturally recognize you, vibe with you & align with you. They understand you, appreciate you, support you, love you, heal with you & grow with you. They make you feel beautiful in your own skin just for being YOU.”
― Pammy

“To be content doesn't mean you don't desire more; it means you're thankful for what you have and patient for what's to come.”

“It has been said that a stoic is someone who says “fuck you” to fate. So I kept going, not because I wanted to, trust me. All of me wanted to stop. I kept going because I deserve to know what not giving up on myself felt like. Some may call this living out of spite. I’m running out of tears to cry. Maybe something is changing me. If I could wave my magic wand, I’d make everything all right, but I’m not one to believe in magic. I have no idea what’s awaiting me or others who are suffering. I have no clue what will happen with time. But for the moment I know this; there are sick people and they need curing.”
