“I never worked out how to be relied upon and also free.”
― Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

“My pain was never more valuable than his potential.”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“Bless the largeness inside me, no matter how I fear it.”
― Sue Monk Kidd, The Book of Longings

“I want us to understand that nuance is freeing and freedom. There is no such thing as cookie-cutter healing. Everyone brings with them an origin story, a history, and identities that are interconnected. There is room to rest in the freedom of managing your own deprogramming journey. It is never either/or and always both/and. You don’t have to grind, hustle, accept burnout as normal, and be in a constant state of exhaustion and sleep deprivation. You don’t have to kill yourself spiritually or physically to live a fruitful life.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto
