““You cannot use someone else’s fire; you can only use your own. And in order to do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it.” - Audre Lorde”

““Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain, the heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.” - Nicole Williams”
