So, on the hard days, you must remind yourself: You wouldn't trade the love to escape the grief. You wouldn't erase the happiness to avoid the pain. And you will endure a lifetime of missing, for the privilege of having loved.
Jameson Arasi
Es horrible cuando te das cuenta que solo te usaron para un rato y en realidad solo te veían como alguien que los entretenía, cuando solo te veían como una opción más. Pero era necesario que vivieras esa experiencia para darte cuenta que nunca necesitaste a nadie para sentirte completa.
“At some point in life, someone will love you more than what you’ve expected. Be Patient and learn to wait, because sometimes a patient person receives the best love story.”

Mi mayor anhelo es encontrar la paz y que ésta me encuentre. No más supervivencia, no más soportar con arcadas lo que nos lastima.
Hanif Abdurraqib, from "There Are More Ways to Show Devotion", You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World
“I think this is what we all want to hear: That we are not alone in hitting the bottom, and that it is possible to come out of that place courageous, beautiful, and strong.”
— Anna White, Mended
"Waking up in the morning, I remember: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and selfish - ignorant of good or evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer is not of the same blood or birth, but endowed with the same reason and share of the divine as I. And so none can hurt me with an attempt to implicate me in this ugliness."
(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)
