“Be a better you, for you.”

“In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.”

“Learn to be alone and to like it. There’s nothing more freeing and empowering than learning to like your own company.”

“You should never have to look for evidence that someone loves you. True love is crystal clear.”

“One of the most lonely and haunted feelings in the world is when you reach for someone. Someone who once truly loved you and you thought would always be there. And your fingers close around empty space because you pushed them away. You are left with the flavour of loss sitting at the back of your throat. And you have no one to blame but yourself.”

Undoing my vulnerability into words has always felt like the softest prayer. Learning how to become and unbecome inside the boundaries of letter after letter.

“The most memorable people in life will be the friends who loved you when you weren’t very lovable.”
