My style...

I could kill you with kindness, but kicking your ass is more my style!

She is Bougainville.
Lush. Wild.
So full of colours.
Unassuming
And rarely appreciated.
Oh, she couldn't care less!
She grows everywhere, yet belongs nowhere.

Shattered selves...

"We do no escape into philosophy, psychology, and art --we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones."

Red...

Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!

-ArthurRimbaud

Wildflowers...

If all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wildflowers.

-Therese of Lisieux

My Silence...

My silence means I am tired of fighting and now there is nothing left to fight for. My silence means I am tired of explaining my feelings to you but now I don’t have the energy to explain them anymore. My silence means I have adapted to the changes in my life and I don’t want to complain. My silence means I am on a self-healing process and I am trying to forget everything I ever wanted from you. My silence means I am just trying to move on gracefully with all my dignity.
~ Aarti Khurana

We do things...

We all do things that we said that we would never do.

As long as...

As long as there is someone in the sky to protect me,
there is no one on the earth who can break me!

Powerful...

There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise!

You are art...

    Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Marilyn Monroe

'til death do us part...

 

    Don’t cry, Mary,” Eden croaked. “I didn’t mean to make you cry.”
My lip quivered as I softly replied, “You’re dying. How could I not cry?”
I didn’t hear Lucas walk up behind me, but he put his hand on my shoulder for comfort. I sniffed back tears as I looked at my aunt lying helplessly in the hospital bed. I took in a sharp breath as Eden’s glassy eyes searched mine.
“I love you,” Eden said weakly, coughing into her shaking hand.
“I love you, too,” I whispered. “But this isn’t goodbye. Don’t say goodbye,” I pleaded.

B.C. Doyle, 'Til Death Do Us Part (Fearless, #1)

When it's time...

    When it’s time for souls to meet, there’s nothing on earth that can prevent them from meeting, no matter where each may be located. When two hearts are meant for each other, no distance is too far, no time is too long, and no other love can break them apart.

Jaime Lichauco

I am a C-section mom!

I had an epidural. Then I had a c-section. Then my baby wouldn't nurse, so I fed her from the bottle. And now I'm sitting here wondering, what all the guilt was about, because my teen is as weird as yours!

The only thing left...

 

"She will blaze through you like a gypsy wildfire. Igniting your soul and dancing in its flames. And when she is gone, the smell of her smoke will be the only thing left to soothe you." 

— Nicole Lyons

That place...

You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.

James V. Hart, Hook

What are you waiting for??

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

- Fifty shades of Grey

Emptiness...

Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.

- Eric Hoffer

Beyond comfortable...

    

It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable.

Ashly Lorenzana

I've learned...

God knows I'm not perfect, either. I've made tons of stupid mistakes, and later I regretted them. And I've done it over and over again, thousands of times; a cycle of hollow joy and vicious self-hatred. But even so, every time I learned something about myself
-Misato Katsuragi

A gift to the world...

“A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. Her tears flow as abundantly as her laughter. A strong woman is both soft and powerful, she is both practical and spiritual. A strong woman in her essence is a gift to the world.” 
~ Native American saying.

Rise...

Rise.
Don’t get angry or enraged or insulted. Rise above the bullshit. 

Flick your light back on, and shine it brighter than ever, and fall so deeply in love with your own life that anyone who tried to wrong you becomes a laughable, ridiculous distant, memory. 

~Cara Alwill Leyba

Comfort...

"How did we get here? Why, of all the people on the planet, did you and I seek comfort in one another?"
- Amanda Torroni 

Back to herself...

Of all the roads she traveled, the journey back to herself was the most magnificent!

Death makes you feel alive...

"We almost kissed almost a million times that night; the proximity of our lips, the heartbeats that raced in sync, killing me million times over, telling me that it is death that makes one feel alive."

- all my skin by Shreyaa Deori

Be Diana!

 In a world full of Kardashians, be Diana!

How starved you must have been that my heart became a meal for your ego!

~ Amanda Torroni

I'm already lost...

In this world, it is too common for people to search for someone to lose themselves in. But I am already lost. I will look for someone to find myself in.
