Stephanie Foo, What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

[shaydarling]

I loved you because I wanted to, not because I needed to. There’s a big difference. It wasn’t about filling a void or clinging to you out of desperation. It was a choice, pure and simple. I chose to give you my heart because you mattered, because you were worth it. It wasn’t about dependency or fear of being alone. It was about seeing you for who you were and loving you anyway. But wanting and needing are worlds apart. One is a gift, the other a crutch. I loved you freely, without strings attached, because that’s the only way love should be.

1. "Words hold immense power, each stroke of your pen possesses the ability to ignite the fire within you and inspire the world around you. Write with intent and watch as your thoughts dance across the pages, breathing life into every word, for it is in these moments of deep reflection that your true purpose shines." 2. "In the quiet spaces between ink and paper, lies an ocean of untapped creativity waiting to be explored. Dive deep into the depths of your imagination, let the waves of inspiration carry you, and watch as your words create magic that resonates far beyond the pages. Write fearlessly, for within your story lies the power to change lives." 3. "Writing is the symphony of the soul, an art form that unveils the deepest parts of who we are. In each stroke of the pen, we discover new facets of our existence, unraveling the mysteries and embracing the truths that lie hidden within. Embrace the silence, listen closely to your thoughts, and let your words become the orchestra that guides others towards self-discovery." 4. "Amidst the chaos of the world, writing acts as a refuge, a sanctuary where our thoughts find solace. Embrace the stillness, for it is within the hushed whispers of your mind that seeds of brilliance take root. Plant your ideas on paper, tend to them with love and dedication, and watch as they blossom into stories that touch hearts and ignite change." 5. "Within the labyrinth of our minds lies a treasure trove of stories waiting to be unleashed. Embrace the journey of self-exploration, for it is through your writing that you bring light to the uncharted corridors of existence. Write with purpose and conviction, and watch as your words carve paths for others to embark upon, forever changing the course of their own narratives."
