“Maybe you’re not perfect, but you certainly are not unworthy. You are beautiful. A flower with a petal still unfurled does not lack in fragrance.”

“Love takes time. It’s like a seed turning into flower. You need to water it with your trust & care for it. The better you do, the beautiful it grows.
But if you’re expecting it to pop-up into the most beautiful flower the very next day of implanting it, then you, my friend, are absolutely delusional.”

“LOVE IS A FLOWER
Treat your relationship
As if you are growing
The most beautiful sacred flower.
Keep watering it,
Tend to the roots,
And always make sure
The petals are full of color
And are never curling.
Once you neglect your plant,
It will die,
As will your relationship.”
― Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“THE WEATHER OF LOVE
Love
Has a way of wilting
Or blossoming
At the strangest,
Most unpredictable hour.
This is how love is,
An uncontrollable beast
In the form of a flower.
The sun does not always shine on it.
Nor does the rain always pour on it
Nor should it always get beaten by a storm.
Love does not always emit the sweetest scents,
And sometimes it can sting with its thorns.
Water it.
Give it plenty of sunlight.
Nurture it,
And the flower of love will
Outlive you.
Neglect it or keep dissecting it,
And its petals will quickly curl up and die.
This is how love is,
Perfection is a delusional vision.
So love the person who loves you
Unconditionally,
And abandon the one
Who only loves you
Under favorable
Conditions.”

“Our goal is not to strive to become fearless! Our goal is to turn our fears into a flower. A flower that we love and want to smell every now and then. Our ultimate goal is to find what it is that we fear, tame it and make it work for our good.”
