Sometimes, it isn’t the one who takes your breath away, it’s the one that reminds you to breathe.

“upon my birth my mother said there is god in you can you feel her dancing”

“This is the recipe of life, said my mother as she held me in her arms as I wept. Think of those flowers you plant in the garden each year.. They will teach you that people too must wilt, fall, root, rise in order to bloom.”

“wtf is wrong with you”

“Forgive yourself for accepting less than you deserved - but don’t do it again.”

“My biggest regrets in life are being too damn nice, apologizing when I didn’t do anything wrong, and making unworthy people a priority.”

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy … because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

“I feel like I’m waiting for something that isn’t going to happen.”

“I’ve been a mother to everyone else, to every motherfucker except myself.”
