Our stories don’t begin and end because men we once trusted have left them.
NIKITA GILLOur stories don’t begin and end because men we once trusted have left them.
NIKITA GILLI hope you find someone who knows how to love you when you are sad.
NIKITA GILLShe is alone, and oh how brilliantly she shines.
NIKITA GILLThe river takes what she wants, does what she desires, and washes over anything that stands in her way.
NIKITA GILLIf a woman does not fit the shape of what you think a woman should, if a woman is not obedient, does not see things the way you do, if a woman is too independent to need anything more than herself, does she automatically become a threat filled with such terror to you?
NIKITA GILLAnd you say you are broken, but broken mirrors like you create the most beautiful patterns of light.
NIKITA GILLBefore we had mouths or language or hope, we still had love. I know it’s not much. But my god, it’s beautiful and on so many days it is enough.
NIKITA GILLTake this as your reminder. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear darkness, some wear wounds.
NIKITA GILLYou must understand: they fear you. There is nothing scarier in their minds than a girl who knows the power of her flames.
NIKITA GILLThe bird building her home on your windowsill has every nest destroyed before. The spider that is delicately weaving a masterpiece has had every single thread broken before. And despite it all, they try again.
NIKITA GILLThe greatest wish I have ever had is to create with words, what wizards cannot and what magic never has.
NIKITA GILLForgiveness is easier to give to others than to yourself. But I am slowly learning.
NIKITA GILLI wish they could see the tenderness in the way the darkness takes the night’s hand.
NIKITA GILLPeople are going to betray you the way Judas betrayed Jesus, the way Brutus betrayed Caesar, and you will love them anyway.
NIKITA GILLHer mother told her she could grow up to be anything she wanted be, so she grew up to become the strongest of the strong, the strangest of the strange, the wildest of the wild, the wolf leading wolves.
NIKITA GILLI hope you never doubt again that even when you are in pain, that you are a miracle, that every part of you is incredible.
