“God is bigger than our sins. God wants you as you are—stumbling, sinning, confused. All He asks if is is love—love for Him, love for others, and love for ourselves. He asks us to lay down our lives—not to live like ascetics, devoid of pleasure or joy, but to give him our lives so that he may increase our joy and increase our love.”
― Sierra Simone, Priest

“You tell your story and the story of your family. You speak your truth. You shatter the stigma. You hold your head up to the world and speak so that everyone else who was ever like you can recognize themselves. Can see that they aren’t alone. Can see how the past will only keep repeating itself as long as we’re kept powerless by our silence.”
― Moïra Fowley-Doyle, All the Bad Apples

“You do not have to earn the right to rest, connect, or recreate. Unlearn the idea that care tasks must be totally complete before you can sit down. Care tasks are a never-ending list, and if you wait until everything is done to rest, you will never rest.”
― K.C. Davis, How to Keep House While Drowning
