“You can't calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.”
― Timber Hawkeye, Buddhist Boot Camp: Ancient Wisdom for Living Peacefully, Finding Purpose, and Cultivating Gratitude

“Because you have been hurt before, you fall in love with anyone who shows you their soul. You know how much courage that takes.”
― Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“And sometimes, healing is rest; it is hiding from the world, it is having everything inside of you be still and quiet and eerily bare. Sometimes healing feels like nothing at all, like you are a silhouette of hope and hurt at the same time.”
― Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“Do you not
remember how your mother kissed a sunrise
into your cheek every morning, for that light is
still trapped within your skin, and you are soft
there. Do not fashion yourself in the image of
restraint or tarnished steel, do not turn to brick
in the midst of uncertainty. May the wild bird
within your heart fly, and may you dip your
wings in ink so that your words fall from the
sky, staining the Earth with love.”
― Bianca Sparacino, Seeds Planted in Concrete
