MORNING BIRD

“No matter the outcome of a battle, there is always a new one to fight. Learn to let go.”

“There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who wouldn’t even jump puddles for you.”

“We don’t realize what a privilege it is to grow old with someone.”

“To love your own sadness as if it were something more precious than gold is what it means to be a melancholic person. Melancholy is the intimate nature you have with your sorrow. Melancholy is the enlightenment you experience when it comes to being lost.”

“You can’t betray yourself too often, or you become somebody else.”

“My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.”
