"Maravilhoso ouvir como é errada a nossa forma distorcida de amar. Como aprendemos desde pequenos o que é amor pelo que aprendemos desde pequenos e a diferença de real amor e o que somos obrigados a pensar ser amor simplesmente por vir da família. Que crescemos pensando que amar é também mentir para não decepcionar ou para agradar ou manipular. O amor que conhecemos hoje está mascarado de muitas camadas de distorção" — Feb 26, 2024 11:00PM

“We don't fall in love with people because they're good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognise. You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart. But when you fall in love with a person because your monsters have found a home in them-- that's the kind of love that owns your skin and bones. Love, I am convinced, is found in the darkness. It is the candle in the night.”
― C. JoyBell C.
