Цитаты из книги Молоко і мед

i have what i have and i am happy

i’ve lost what i’ve lost and i am still happy

- outlook

you were a dragon long before he came around and said you could fly

you will remain a dragon long after he’s left

apparently it is ungraceful of me to mention my period in public cause the actual biology of my body is too real

it is okay to sell what’s between a woman’s legs more than it is okay to mention its inner workings

the recreational use of this body is seen as beautiful while its nature is seen as ugly

other women’s bodies are not our battlegrounds

our backs tell stories no books have the spine to carry

- women of color

you deserve to be completely found in your surroundings not lost within them

i thank the universe for taking everything it has taken and giving to me everything it is giving

- balance

if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise

do not bother holding on to that thing that does not want you

- you cannot make it stay

the way they leave tells you everything

i am losing parts of you like i lose eyelashes unknowingly and everywhere

he isn’t coming back whispered my head he has to sobbed my heart

- wilting

love is not cruel we are cruel love is not a game we have made a game out of love

i will not have you build me into your life when what i want is to build a life with you

- the difference

i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like when i am sad i don’t cry i pour when i am happy i don’t smile i glow when i am angry i don’t yell i burn

the good thing about feeling in extremes is when i love i give them wings but perhaps that isn’t such a good thing cause they always tend to leave and you should see me when my heart is broken i don’t grieve i shatter

when you are broken and he has left you do not question whether you were enough the problem was you were so enough he was not able to carry it

i didn’t leave because i stopped loving you i left because the longer i stayed the less i loved myself

you were temptingly beautiful but stung when i got close
