“We are all flawed, my dear. Every one of us. And believe me, we've all made mistakes. You've just got to take a good hard look at yourself, change what needs to be changed, and move on, pet.”

“If my trauma were made into an art museum, the most popular exhibit
would showcase portraits of every man who has ever raped me, snarling.”

“Even though trauma has a way of
becoming the wallpaper of my head,
watch me drag the art
out of my suffering.
Watch me plant seeds down my spine
and bloom into a garden of poetry
from every horrible thing that has ever
happened to me, all the nights my voice
turned to cement and I couldn't say anything-
Watch me build an empire from the ashes
of everything that tried to destroy me.”

“I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: "Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.”
