“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”
“The bitter taste of loneliness filled my mouth as I laid in silence. Like a caged bird I felt trapped within the confines of trauma unable to reach out, afraid of everyone who could hurt me. All I wanted was to be safe yet being safe also meant being alone so the taste always seemed to linger in my mouth.”
“I expect so much from myself, from my mind and my body, that it’s only fair to say sorry. Sorry for complaining about being tired, without having rested properly. Sorry for overloading my mind with things and expecting to do everything perfectly. Sorry for forgetting that I am not a machine and I can break down. I am always careful not to hurt everyone’s feelings but I never consider that I also need to apologize to myself for everything I put me through.”
