“The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.”
— Rumi
Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going.
Yasmin Mogahed
Real love doesn’t need nudes. It doesn’t need intimate pictures. It needs trust, respect, and care. Don’t trade your peace for someone’s lust.
Disculpen si desaparezco y no contesto mensajes o no doy señal de vida, si me ausento, si pareciera un grinch deprimido, pero a veces necesito darme tiempo, respirar, darme ánimos y creer de nuevo que las personas no vienen y van de mi vida. — Firthunands

La soledad siempre me recuerda que las personas no tienen la lealtad como reciprocidad.
“I am sorry someone loved you badly, and that they made you feel like you take up more space than you deserve. I am sorry they abandoned you when you need them the most and it has made you believe that love is an awful thing that hurts.”
— Nikita Gill
I might think I can't take it any more, that I can't go on any more, but one way or another I get past that.
— Haruki Murakami, After Dark
So be angry, and keep going. Let your mind go into combat mode, fight with make believe people and through situations that aren't really happening. But keep going. Be sad, be exhausted, lose hope. But keep going. Still show up. Do the work. Because the anger and fighting and fear and sadness and tiredness and hopelessness? It will pass. It will fade naturally when you keep going. If you let it stop you, it wins.
