If we had no fears to master, how else would we grow?
NIKITA GILLIf we had no fears to master, how else would we grow?
NIKITA GILLThat growth is simply learning how to suffer, gracefully, elegantly constantly moving and travelling without letting your pain tear you apart.
NIKITA GILLAnd darling, I hope your remember to kiss the ghosts goodnight. They are only older versions of you that you have had to discard and forget.
NIKITA GILLLove yourself loudly, dangerously, everywhere people have been afraid to love you, afraid to ask the way to cherish you, afraid to hold you. Love yourself most in these places, because who can be a better teacher to others in how to love you than yourself.
NIKITA GILLIn human beings, a black hole is spending your energy loving someone who takes all of your love and gives back nothing in return.
NIKITA GILLA war is still a war even if it is inside your head, did you know this?
NIKITA GILLSome things are beautiful, but they are beautiful in the way of the sun. If you fly too close, they will melt your wings and send you plummeting into the sea.
NIKITA GILLNot all girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice. Some are made of witchcraft and wolf and a little bit of vice.
NIKITA GILLSeek no homes in other people’s chests.
NIKITA GILLThere are graveyards inside you made of people that made you ache, made of memories that you barely survived made of trauma and heartbreak. These graveyards need to become gardens where you plant flowers that blossom, for you to let go.
NIKITA GILLIt’s how I learn there are a multitude of ways to say I love you. For so many you don’t have to use words at all.
NIKITA GILLSome people survive and talk about it. Some people survive and go silent. Some people survive and create. Everyone deals with unimaginable pain in their own way, and everyone is entitled to that, without judgment.
NIKITA GILLIn a cave where everything is fragranced with water, she asks for a daughter instead of praying for a son.
NIKITA GILLI am more powerful than I am damaged and I will rise from any abyss you drown me in.
NIKITA GILLShe’s a woman in love and is loved in return. That is a powerful thing.
NIKITA GILLI wish they could see the tenderness in the way the darkness takes the night’s hand.
NIKITA GILL
