What is it like to have a mother who loves you without restraints of her past?

I do not know, all I know is the hurt that she feels, as she takes it out on me every day.

I am the embodiment of my mothers pain. The wounds that never healed bleed into my porous brain.

I am everything that she hates.

You are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. Limiting beliefs belong to your past self. This moment is open to infinite possibility.

But if they had learned anything together, it was that wisdom comes to us when it can no longer do any good.

Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera (translated by Edith Grossman)

There would be no final answer to anything. There would be no arbiter of how they should be, no guarantee of how they were going to turn out, who they would become, what lives they would live, what the outcomes of the choices they made would be. However far ahead one ran up the road in life, there was only more uncertainty ahead. Constantly, they were in the process of becoming.

Cleo Qian, "Messages from Earth" from Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go

But sometimes, unexpectedly, grief pounded over me in waves that left me gasping; and when the waves washed back, I found myself looking out over a brackish wreck which was illumined in a light so lucid, so heartsick and empty, that I could hardly remember that the world had ever been anything but dead.

Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

It took me so long to realize there are people who start fires, not to tend them,

but to see how things burn, and it took me even longer to realize some places need fire simply to survive.

My toxic trait is that I ardently believe that when someone says something mean when they're angry and later try to undo it by saying that they 'didn't mean it and only said it because they were angry' they absolutely did mean it, and were thinking about that said sentence for a long time. Anger doesn't give you ideas, it just removes your filters. People think 'I take it back' fixes things, no it doesn't.
