“If only I had something to take the edge off the loneliness. If only lonely were a more accurate word. It should sound much less pretty.”
― We Are Okay

“Sometimes, the heart must break in order to open.”
― It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle
― It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle
“i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like
when i am sad
i don’t cry i pour
when i am happy
i don’t smile i glow
when i am angry
i don’t yell i burn
the good thing about
feeling in extremes
is when i love
i give them wings
but perhaps
that isn't
such a good thing
cause they always
tend to leave and
you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don't grieve
i shatter”
― Milk and honey

“It’s a dark place, not knowing.
It’s difficult to surrender to.
But I guess it’s where we live most of the time. I guess it’s where we all live, so maybe it doesn’t have to be so lonely. Maybe I can settle into it, cozy up to it, make a home inside uncertainty.”

“What I mean is don't be a person who seeks out grief. There is enough of that in life.”
