    “You know your heart better than anyone else. This means you need to act on what you know. Speak up for yourself, ask for support when needed, don’t feel like you need to move at the same speed as everyone else.”

    Yung Pueblo

      “It’s easier to quote, to rely on the wise words of others. Especially when the people you’re deferring to are such towering figures! It’s harder (and more intimidating) to venture out on your own and express your own thoughts. But how do you think those wise and true quotes from those towering figures were created in the first place? Your own experiences have value. You have accumulated your own wisdom too. Stake your claim. Put something down for the ages—in words and also in example.”

      Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 378)

        “you tell me to quiet down cause

        my opinions make me less beautiful

        but i was not made with a fire in my belly

        so i could be put out

        i was not made with a lightness on my tongue

        so i could be easy to swallow

        i was made heavy

        half blade and half silk

        difficult to forget and not easy

        for the mind to follow”

        Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey (Page 30)

        Every Word You Cannot Say [Book]

          Every Word You Cannot Say by Iain Thomas

          By: Iain Thomas

          From this Book:  12 Quotes

          Book Overview:  *May this book find the person it needs to. May they find every word they were looking for.*

          **I know you don’t want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you’re just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, “this is beautiful,” when no one else can see what you see. Or, “Here, this is where the pain is.” But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear them, hears them. Because we are human, and the closest we’ve ever come to showing each other who we really are, and how we love, is with words. So I’m going to try to say to you here, what I wish you’d say to me too.  Please.  Listen.  We can change things.  Here.
