“When I’m with you, I feel a kind of calm I’ve never felt in my life. I’m tangled up in you and you’re tangled up in me and it feels right. Like it was meant to be.”

Rachel Gibson, Tangled Up In You

“forgive all the versions of yourself that operated out of fear instead of growth, the ones that viewed comfort zones as safe havens and abandoned boundaries to keep other people happy, forgive all the versions of yourself that didn’t know that love begins with how you treat you.”

“allow the pieces to fall apart no matter how rough it feels, allow what doesn’t want to stick to crumble away beautifully, allow what has no desire to stay to find a home elsewhere, allow the energy of everything shifting from you to create space for everything that you need.”

Some people turn sad awfully young ... No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer, and ... get sadder younger than anyone else in the world.

– Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

My heart has always been a sunflower, blindly turning towards warmth, coiling around thoughts that only cover my toes at night. How many nights do I have left in me? How many more stars will I lose to your name? Do your fingers still wander when you think of me? Of all the places I don’t belong, your heart is the only one that hurts. there are many moments in my life where I have to remind myself to appreciate something before it ends rather than worry about when it will. I ask how you are, but what I really mean is I miss you. Darling, there’s no wound deeper than too late.

Not everyone will be careful with your heart.

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.

Daniel Saint

When someone tells you, they don’t have the capacity to show up for you, don’t get upset. they just gave you the gift of clarity through their honesty. now you can adjust your boundaries accordingly with no hard feelings. that’s true freedom.
