“Are there any rules
when it comes to love? There is just one: Let it change you. Let it leave you better
than you were before.”
― Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“Are you happy?” “In all honesty? No. But I am curious – I am curious in my sadness, and I am curious in my joy. I am everseeking, everfeeling. I am in awe of the beautiful moments life gives us, and I am in awe of the difficult ones. I am transfixed by grief, by growth. It is all so stunning, so rich, and I will never convince myself that I cannot be somber, cannot be hurt, cannot be overjoyed. I want to feel it all – I don’t want to cover it up or numb it. So no, I am not happy. I am open, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“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 not hide your wounds – for even flowers
bloom within concrete fractures and damaged
fragments make up the most intricate mosaics.
Promise me that you will never conceal your
cracks, for I will only ever see them as places in
which to fill with love.”
