“Watching the red and yellow flowers in the sun thinking of nothing, it was as if a door opened and I was somewhere else, someone else. Not myself any longer.”

— Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

[thebookquotes]

And what I've come to realize is if you don't say what you need to say when you have a chance... you'll regret it. Even if you're mad, say it. Scream it into the world while you still have a chance to. Because once life passes you by, it's gone. And so are the words left unspoken.

— Brittainy C. Cherry, Loving Mr. Daniels

[thehopefulquotes]

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

— Thích Nhất Hạnh

Chapter 23 is coming to its end. 23 was definitely one for the book. Where everything happened. Where healing begin. Where growth happened. For some it happened late, for some weird reason to me it happened just when it need to. This is now my journey. To all those who will no longer be part of my book, your presence was needed & lessons were also learned. Much love yaí ࿎

“He had the confident, windblown quality of somebody who had been on adventures in foreign lands, gotten in a fair bit of trouble, and had never experienced darkness or loneliness. It made me want to be close to him, to steal it from him when his head was turned.”

— Erica Katz, The Boys’ Club

“People think intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is ‘You’re safe with me’ - that’s intimacy.”

— Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

[thebookquotes]

How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.
