“Unbearable pain that is expressed and acknowledged becomes bearable. But borderlines received no such responses in their childhood. Therefore, they are stuck in the past, trying to elicit what they needed as a child—validation of their unbearable pain.”
― Christine Ann Lawson, Understanding the Borderline Mother

“Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind—even if your voice shakes.”
― Maggie Kuhn

“Grief is not a thing to be measured. Only lived.”
― Amanda Barratt

“I bumped into my shadow
on the way to thorny feelings
she whispered to me:
‘You can’t rush your healing
Its time is not measured in seconds but steps
some forward, some backward
then forward again”
― Valentina Quarta, The Purpose Ladder
