“The universe on your skin is empty
from all the silence on your tongue.
Forgive yourself. Let your body heal
from all the wounds you did not inflict
on yourself. Drop the sword you carry
on your shoulder for self-defense.
Lower the armor you hold high up
for protection. Those who harmed you
are not going to come back. Those who
have left never intended to return.”

“So often we confuse mistakes for soul mates, lessons for
lovers, and at the same time worthy life partners for one-night stands.
It’s an epidemic.”

“Awake! arise! the hour is late!
Angels are knocking at thy door!
They are in haste and cannot wait,
And once departed come no more.
Awake! arise! the athlete's arm
Loses its strength by too much rest;
The fallow land, the untilled farm
Produces only weeds at best.”
― The Complete Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“They came and they left.
You cried, but you stood your ground.
You stayed tethered to hope as well as
committed to dignified dreams
and little victories of day-to-day life.
You felt different.
Then you started to change.
Your smile returned with reticence
before completely taking over your face.
Today, you are no longer afraid to let that smile be there,
and now you understand it was not about them.
It was never about anyone else.
This was about you from the day you were born.
This was about you learning to love yourself—
not letting the inferiority of the external corrupt
the piety of the internal.
This was your personal revolution.
This was the uprising of your lifetime.
And you won.”
