“Do you know what it feels like to be wounded and told that you caused the wound to yourself by choosing to be where the harm landed?”

I spent more time getting over you than I spent falling in love with you.

To you, it is much easier to not say a word. To me, I choke on my words if I do not say them. What truly hurts me is that you know that your silence infects a storm in my mind yet you choose it oh so easily.

Being a leader is about leading your own mind’s logic and leading your heart’s reason. Be cognizant of the decisions that your mind and heart make, and your life will be much more meaningful and rewarding.

You don’t need to explain why you’re protecting your soul from harm. You really don’t.

The past is only going to cause you more pain. Stay away from it.

I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.
