“I am doing my best to not become a museum of myself. I am doing my best to breathe in and out. I am begging: Let me be lonely but not invisible.”
― Natalie Díaz, Postcolonial Love Poem

“Instead of blue skies and sunshine, there are grey clouds and endless rain that seeps into your bones, your soul.”
― Cathy Cassidy, Angel Cake

“Truth is a beauty, whether pretty or not.
Love doesn't always mean you should stay.
Sometimes the truth has to punch you, twice.
Love doesn't always mean you should stay.”
― Yrsa Daley-Ward, bone

“Although the surface of our planet is two-thirds water, we call it the Earth. We say we are earthlings, not waterlings. Our blood is closer to seawater than our bones to soil, but that's no matter. The sea is the cradle we all rocked out of, but it's to dust that we go. From the time that water invented us, we began to seek out dirt. The further we separate ourselves from the dirt, the further we separate ourselves from ourselves. Alienation is a disease of the unsoiled.”
― Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction
