“There is an anxiety in being yourself, though. There is the haunting question of "What if?" always lingering. What if who I am will never be enough? What if I will never be right enough for someone?”

“I'm not crazy, I was abused.
I'm not shy, I'm protecting myself.
I'm not bitter, I'm speaking the truth.
I'm not hanging onto the past, I've been damaged. I'm not delusional, I lived a nightmare.
I'm not weak, I was trusting.
I'm not giving up, I'm healing.
I'm not incapable of love, I'm giving.
I'm not alone. I see you all here.
I'm fighting this.”
― Rene Smith

“There is respect for a heart like yours, and if its beating stop, the spirit lives to guard the ways you wandered.”

“Now may be a good time to go on a long journey. The stars think you need to clear your head. The stars think you need to run.”
― Clementine von Radics
