it was how you carried yourself, HOW YOU SAW YOURSELF.
This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a bad day, a bad month, or a s.hitty year. Things will change: you won’t feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can’t feel real joy unless you’ve felt heartache. You can’t have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can’t know what it’s like to feel holy until you know what it’s like to feel really f.ucking evil. And you can’t be birthed again until you’ve died.
— Kelly Cutrone,
If You Have to
Cry, Go Outside
There’s always that one person you had feelings for
since you first met them.
We've heard you were a victim.
Stop crouching in the shadows, chewing your hair.
You can be graceful, not like a ballerina,
like a hedge of coral,
built up and eaten and worn down
yet alive, carving the rhythms of the seas.
You can be a threshing sledge,
new and sharp with many teeth.

Sad
people have the gift of time, while the world dizzies everyone
else; they remain stagnant, their bodies refusing to follow pace
with the universe. With these kind of people everything aches for
too long, everything moves without rush, wounds are always
wet.—Warsan Shire

Not everyone is okay with living like an open wound. But the thing about open wounds is that, well, you aren’t ignoring it. You’re healing; the fresh air can get to it. It’s honest. You aren’t hiding who you are. You aren’t rotting. People can give you advice on how to heal without scarring badly. But on the other hand there are some people who’ll feel uncomfortable around you. Some will even point and laugh. But we all have wounds.
— Warsan Shire
Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.
