Because girls who were building empires for themselves did not need kingdoms to shine.
NIKITA GILLBecause girls who were building empires for themselves did not need kingdoms to shine.
NIKITA GILLYou are still the kindest thing that ever happened to me, even if that is not how our tale is told.
NIKITA GILLI had hoped one day to find someone who loves my monsters, the wolves that I feed, the demons I sing to sleep, the tiger that is my caged heart, the parts of me I do not talk about. I prayed and wished and yearned until I realized that I had already found her within me.
NIKITA GILLHow do you go back to being strangers with someone who has seen your soul?
NIKITA GILLYou have never forgotten how home was more than just a language you grew inside your mouth before you said it in a way your tongue bled.
NIKITA GILLThere is no justice in the world. You have to make your own, because believe me, the cosmos that gifted you the chaos, also created you with care.
NIKITA GILLGirls who survive trauma do wear a certain vulnerability around them, but this kind of vulnerability is from where their greatest strength stems.
NIKITA GILLThe loneliest thing you can ever do is take very instance where you should grow and waste it by only thinking how could this happen to you?
NIKITA GILLIt has taken me some time to learn that although karma exists, you can let your hatred go, not by destroying your own magic but by letting it grow.
NIKITA GILLYou become the thing that hurts you until it can hurt you no more.
NIKITA GILLThat growth is simply learning how to suffer, gracefully, elegantly constantly moving and travelling without letting your pain tear you apart.
NIKITA GILLI’d like to think our love does return to us reincarnated in different human forms. That people might be temporary, but love is permanent and it just changes form.
NIKITA GILLYour body is not a first aid kit for broken people and damaged souls and hearts that are too tired to fix themselves.
NIKITA GILLForgive her for how her agony reveals itself, child. This is how blood magic works. Unconditional never meant perfect anyway.
NIKITA GILLPerhaps magic is in the habit of choosing sharp-eyed girls who ask too many questions for their own good. Perhaps it chooses girls who are not unloved, but not fully loved either.
NIKITA GILLShe didn’t just wait for someone to come and rescue her from her discontent and strife, instead she took matters into her own hands and empowered her own future, her own life.
