“Sometimes, the only person worth satisfying is yourself. It’s your life, you’ve got to live it for you.”
― Dandy Smith, The Wrong Daughter

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.
The people who are meant for you are going to meet you
on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort
zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of
being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are.”

“I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows.”
― Whitney Houston

“After losing a parent, I can tell you that the ache never heals. It changes with time, but I carry that loss, that lingering grief with me.”
― Ellie Alexander, Donut Disturb
