After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment.

We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.

i’m sorry that you were not truly loved and that it made you cruel

How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.

I like people with depth, I like people with emotion, I like people with a strong mind, an interesting mind, a twisted mind, and also people that can make me smile

Anyone who takes the time to be kind is beautiful.

Be in love with your life, every detail of it.
