The Whomping Willow

“The strongest actions for a woman is to love herself, be herself, and shine amongst those who never believed she could.”

“The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment you absolutely and utterly have to walk away.”

“Actions always prove why words mean nothing.”

“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.”

“Some won’t appreciate you no matter how much you do for them. Release yourself. Go where you’re appreciated and understood.”

“If someone treats you badly recognize that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people do not go around destroying other people.”

“I know that feeling. You have to do something. You have to change something radically, because you can’t stay like you are for another second, or you’re going to explode.”

“I have survived. I am here. Confused, screwed up, but here.”

“Sensitive people should be treasured. They love deeply and think deeply about life. They are loyal, honest and true. The simple things often mean the most to them. They don’t need to change or harden. Their purity makes them who they are.”

“Trust yourself. You’ve survived a lot, and you’ll survive whatever is coming.”

“Blood is thicker than water”, when used in the context of family over friends, is in fact a wildly incorrect bastardisation. The true, full quote is The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” and refers to relationships forged by choice holding deeper meaning than those of mere biology.”
