"Don't count the words of love, count the moments of presence."
I think part of the reason why we hold on to something so tightly is because we fear something as great won’t happen twice.
Love yourself a little extra right now. You're creating the life of your dreams and you absolutely deserve it. It's about to get magical for you.
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
“You reach a point in life where you no longer want to impress anyone.
You no longer want to explain, to convince, or to chase after anything.
You want peace. You want truth. You want real people.
You’ve been where you gave everything… and it still wasn’t enough.
You’ve been around people who lost you easily… because they never truly understood you.
And now you know:
Better alone than surrounded by empty presences.
Better authentic than loved for a mask.
Better silence than conversations that no longer nourish you.
It’s not arrogance. It’s healing.”
