“Nothing worth keeping has ever wanted me back.”

I am tired of only being loved in theory.

Her body is a undiscovered country and she is afraid that someone will colonize it and expect her to thank them for the wreckage.

You are something I am trying to love; Not something I am trying to survive.

When will I realize the absence of hate is not love?

I tell the boy in my class that no means no and he laughs in my face – says no means change my mind.

Loving you and leaving you taste the same in the mouth?

Women like me bleed on command.

This body belongs to all those who live in it.

The only difference between a mother and her daughter is how long they’ve lived with the trauma.

I never wanted to be so alone that all I have is you.

Did our fathers create silence or is it that what makes them our fathers?

Do girls really mature faster than boys or are you looking for a way to sexualize young girls without feeling guilty about it?

I know I’m difficult to love but I’m going to need you to love me anyway.

I keep making art out of his mistakes.

The feminine urge to stay safe.

There is a girl on fire a woman choking a body walking into the ocean and they all have my face. They all have my heart because I give that away so easily.

Expectation is the source of all the worries – Bestow without aiming to receive anything in return.

The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world’s need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this – with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need – this life is hell.

Maybe it’s time to build bridges instead of walls. I owe myself that much.

I was in total shock. I work so close [to home] that I figured I’d return to work and the baby nurse would bring the baby to me, and I’d run home periodically, and I’d make it work. But every two hours? That’s a whole other level. I’ll have to make a nursery at the office.

In the beginning, yes I did go back… (but) I learned that if it’s continued abusive, you just can’t stay there. When guys are young, they make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect, but, if they do it more than once, then it’s definitely a habit

All flows out from the Deity, and all must be absorbed in Him again.

I would introduce and support legislation to send Roe v. Wade back to the states.

She lost herself, a little, in that darkness but returned with stars beneath her skin.
