““Don’t be so cool you can’t cry. Don’t be so smart you can’t wonder. Don’t be so set on your sunny days that you can’t love thunder.” - Unknown”

“One day it just clicks… You realise what is important and what isn’t, you learn to care less about what other people think of you and care more about what you think of yourself. You realise how far you have come and you remember thinking that things were such a mess they’d never recover and then you smile. You smile because you’re truly proud of the person you have fought to become.”

“The woman you are becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces, and material things. Choose her over everything.”

Sometimes you just have to stay silent because no words can explain what’s going on in your heart and mind.

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’ve got this tiny pang of regret when I think of how much I have probably missed out on in the last few years because I was too scared to take a risk, or too shy to speak up, or too worried to be bold. It is my one wild and precious life, after all.”
