Glitter...

        Even though on the outside we glittered like gold, inside we were almost as black as coal. Sometimes the glitter people saw was only the shattered pieces reflecting among the broken glass.

Tracy Krimmer, All That Glitters

Smiles and tears...

If I can see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears. If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile. 
--Santosh Kalwar

An artist's job...

The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.      

Woody Allen

Destroy you...

     

Every moment those cold fingers of you touches my skin in these rainy nights, they lit fire to my soul a bit at a time. These moments make me crave to be destroyed, even more. In the end, when my whole soul is engulfed in the fire that you have started, I want to pull you into my arms and destroy you too, in every breathtaking way that exists.

Akshay Vasu, The Abandoned Paradise: Unraveling the beauty of untouched thoughts and dreams

I am your mother...

“To my beautiful daughter, always remember: you are brave, you are capable, you are pretty, and you can accomplish ANYTHING your heart desires! I know this because I am your mother.”

Always... Never...

To some people, you will never be enough.
To others, you always were.

Accept that...

Accept that people leave, hearts break, friendships end, love vanishes, memories fade away and life goes on with empty feelings, sad smiles and broken souls.

A kiss...

A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know.
