“Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.”
― Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“Do not hide your wounds – for even flowers
bloom within concrete fractures and damaged
fragments make up the most intricate mosaics.
Promise me that you will never conceal your
cracks, for I will only ever see them as places in
which to fill with love.”
― Bianca Sparacino, Seeds Planted in Concrete

“sometimes courage isn’t climbing Mount Everest or changing the world. Sometimes your mountain to climb is made up of weekdays and months, made up of pushing yourself forward even when you want to nestle into the past. Sometimes changing the world means changing your world as gradually as you need to, as gently as you heal, because sometimes courage isn’t made up of war and bloodshed; sometimes courage isn’t made of combat. Sometimes courage is a quiet fight, a dim softness within you, that flickers even on your darkest days and reminds you that you are strong, that you are growing—that there is hope.”
― Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“All of the love you have given to the wrong people— it will find its way back to you.”
