“Waiting is a sign of true love and patience. Anyone can say “I love you”, but not everyone can wait and prove it’s true.”

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared by scars.”

“We all must learn to be happy with being alone; that is when things begin to change.”

A kind stranger asked me today how to stop loving someone. And I said “I don’t think I’ve ever really stopped loving anyone and that’s the complexity of love. I think I can let go of someone and turn that love into a fossilised version of itself in memory. But trying to repress it never worked for me. So instead, I gently placed it behind glass in the museum in my head. I only access it now when I am strong enough to remember that love without the intensity of the pain and hurt it caused.”

everything that we once were,

is now a sad and lonely verse.

when once I had so much to say,

I am now bereft of words.

sometimes it is the order of things,

that make them seem much worse.

it's not as if you would have stayed,

if I hadn't left you first.

“She cries less often now, usually in the evening. She will learn to control her tears and despair, because she doesn’t indulge her distress. She tells no one that she’s afraid to close her eyes.”

— Christa Wolf, tr. by Luise von Flotow, from “They Divided The Sky: A Novel,”

“She doesn’t want to talk. Let her cry herself out, let her calm down, let it all heal up.”

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”

— Lemony Snicket, Horseradish

“I was a romantic and sentimental creature, with a tendency towards solitude.”

“When you’re in an abusive relationship, the abuse, in your head, is a blip. It’s something that happens between the good times. You trick yourself with “everyone has problems in their relationship” and assume this is what healthy looks like. You only realise too late it’s not. You realise too late how unhappy you really are. You see, the brain is a beautiful and terrible thing, it is sharp as the end of a knife, whilst staying soft as silk against your cheek. It is a paradox and it holds you hostage, it turns on you when it goes through trauma. It takes time to convince your own mind that you deserve better and what is happening to you is messed up and you must find a way out.”

— Nikita Gill

I am the direct result of generations of women who have endured centuries of trauma and fought to get me to this point. I owe it to them to take the torch that they have kept burning so long and turn it into a wildfire through my daughters and grand daughters. I owe them the debt of a glorious future for each generation of women that comes after me.

“There is a sort of stagnation in my soul. I am not disappointed, I am not tired, I am not depressed, but simply everything has suddenly become less interesting. I must do something to rouse myself.”

— Anton Chekhov, from a diary entry written c. November 1888

•誰懂

誰懂你深入骨子裡的一身傲氣。

誰懂你掩埋在靈魂裡的所有思緒。

誰懂你咽回肚子裡的無盡淚滴。

誰懂你為誰擋死嘴裡的那些脾氣。

誰懂你不說出口的種種委屈。

誰懂你那頑強不屈的倔強心理。

誰懂你鎖在舌尖上的隻字片語。

誰懂你湧上心頭的西斯底里。

誰懂你埋藏心底的嘯聲無息。

誰懂你最終心若止水的雲淡風輕。
