“Unfortunately we do treat others as we treat ourselves. We should try being genuinely kind to ourselves first and the rest will come naturally, like an 18-kt. Golden Rule.” ― Erica Goros, The Daisy Chain”

“I spend a lot of time looking up.”
“Do you remember what I forgot?”
“Love is seeking the good and being the good.”
“Sometimes I feel like one of those sliding tile puzzles. I just get so dang close to what I want to see in the mirror and who I want to be... but then I have to completely jumble up the pieces to try to get even closer.”
“I am forever grateful for not knowing—What would have been. WHAT WILL BE holds none of those bittersweet pangs and it is lit w joy.”
“If your blade were as sharp as your tongue, you'd have sliced my through years ago.”
“The heart of a person only beats when it's surrounded by blood, by family.”
“The most powerful words you can learn to use? I Don't Know.”
“Emotions are like muscles. Most of them go highly unattended, it's usually the weaker, undefined ones that cause injury to the rest, and there is most certainly memory response in play.”
