“Put your hand on your heart,'
the old man said.
'Inside you, there is a power,
there are ideas,
thought that no one has ever thought of,
there is the strength to love,
purely and intensely,
and to have someone love you back -
there is the power to make people happy,
and to make people laugh -
it's full compliments,
and the power to change lives and futures.
Don't forget that power,
and don't ever give up on it.”
― Atticus Poetry

“Forgiveness

I'm still trying to forgive myself
for all the things I failed to become.
I'm still trying to make peace
with all the broken pieces of my past.”
― R.H. Sin, Whiskey Words & a Shovel II

“Everything that terrifies you
these monsters
that keeps you up at night
that torment you
that make you feel small
breakable
unable to breathe
like you should not
exist at all,
you defeat them everyday
just by being alive,
this on its own
proves that you are
enough,
and you already have
everything you need
to survive.”
― Nikita Gill, Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty

“Because
I have known despair
I value hope

Because
I have tasted frustration
I value fulfillment

Because
I have been lonely
I value love”
― Leonard Nimoy
