Strongest women...

Sometimes the strongest women are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors and fights battles that nobody knows about.

Amazing places...

There are two amazing places you can be. The nicest place to be is in someone’s thoughts. The safest place to be is in someone’s prayers.

Memory...

 “Just remember, you can't put your arms around a memory, so hug someone you love today.” 
- Unknown

Unseen...

How fathomless the mystery of the Unseen is! We cannot plumb its depths with our feeble senses - with eyes which cannot see the infinitely small or the infinitely great, nor anything too close or too distant, such as the beings who live on a star or the creatures which live in a drop of water... with ears that deceive us by converting vibrations of the air into tones that we can hear, for they are sprites which miraculously change movement into sound, a metamorphosis which gives birth to harmonies which turn the silent agitation of nature into song... with our sense of smell, which is poorer than any dog's... with our sense of taste, which is barely capable of detecting the age of a wine!

Ah! If we had other senses which would work other miracles for us, how many more things would we not discover around us!

Guy de Maupassant, Le Horla et autres contes fantastiques

Belonging together...

It was because they were two parts of a whole. He did not belong to her. And she did not belong to him. It was never about belonging to someone. It was about belonging together.

Renee Ahdieh, The Rose & the Dagger (The Wrath and the Dawn, #2)

Recognize...

Wasted tries, The many whys, Is it the soul of Compromise?
Lows and highs, Believing in lies, In life we have to improvise.
Frustration and cries, The last leg of sighs, You are the dreamer in disguise!
To the guilt say goodbyes, Open your eyes, Your soul - I do so recognize.

Julieanne O'Connor

Felt...

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.     

Helen Keller

Fragile...

“She was not fragile like a flower. She was fragile like a bomb.”  
 — Unknown

Yin and Yang...

We are not meant to be perfect. We are meant to be whole!
- Jane Fonda

A memoir...

A memoir forces me to stop and remember carefully. It is an exercise in truth. In a memoir, I look at myself, my life, and the people I love the most in the mirror of the blank screen. In a memoir, feelings are more important than facts, and to write honestly, I have to confront my demons.

Isabel Allende

Princess...

I am going to be the damsel in distress and the knight in shining armor. I will save myself.

There are days...

There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.

Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Oeuvres complètes en seize volumes

Chaos and Magic...

Wild woman are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet.
If you have met one, hold on to her, she'll allow you into her chaos but she'll also show you her magic.

Nikki Rowe

Burn and ignite...

They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!

C. JoyBell C.

Gone...

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

George Eliot

Tangled...

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

Daniel Day-Lewis

Changed...

Oh my beloved, to know you is to love you. And in loving you, everything about me has changed.
Nothing is the same because I have seen the heart of love, and have been forever transformed by your grace.
Oh my friend! Just see! My heart has been stained by the colour of love!

Don't think...

“Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.”
 — Ray Bradbury

Survival...

After all, what's more human than the fight for survival?

Ocean of soul...

   

The eyes are the ocean of soul,
Behind those eyes lies an untold story,
Which is silent and buried in the depths of the ocean of soul,
Holding a billion tear drops in its rim,
And those eyes that cry for love and for the sake of loved ones are sapphires,
And those tear drops of love are precious pearls.

Luffina Lourduraj

Confusion...

Today, I experimented sketching with my non-dominant hand - my left hand. I think it wasn't a bad attempt at all, however as easy it was for to me sketch, the most difficult part was to write using my left hand. Maybe with a little practice, during this lockdown period, I'll be better at it ☺️
