“I am slowly learning that some people are not good for me, no matter how much I love them. I deserve someone who is gentle and kind, because my soul is getting tired. Realizing that I deserve something good is one of the first steps.” —Michelle K., Why I Need To Say Goodbye To You #TodaysMantra 🔴 illustration by Gino Rubert

I touched your shadow, you touched the drop of blood that stood for my heart. The sun, moon, and earth moved around one another in long-established patterns like people in love in a story.

— Richie Hofmann, from “All That Is Including Me,” published in The Baffler

“There are two ways of telling your story. One is to tell it compulsively and urgently, keep returning to it because you see your present suffering as the result of your past experiences. But there is another way. You can tell your story from the place where it no longer dominates you. You can speak about it with a certain distance and see it as the way to your present freedom.” —Henri Nouwen ‪#‎LateNightThoughts‬
