“The conservatives who say, "Let us not move so fast," and the extremists who say, "Let us go out and whip the world ," would tell you that they are as far apart as the poles. But there is a striking parallel: They accomplish nothing; for they do not reach the people who have a crying need to be free.”

“I was never scared of romantic heartbreaks. To slide my body behind a closed door and cry. To leak my feelings and angst into my journal and snacks. Nope.
It was the familial heartbreaks and the ripping of long term friendships that made quiver something horrid.”

except the thought of my words
remaining unheard, trapped in silence.
Then I published something.

And I wouldn’t stop—
each word a step toward liberation,
each line a testament to my resilience.”

that some endings have a process of complete annihilation...
For just in case there is a glimmer, a miniscule enticement to look back at misery.”

“No more folding into someone else's arms
like a polite lie.
Forget making space in my mouth
for words that don't fit.
I think about the women—
all the women—
who felt like the first deep breath
after too many held.
The ones who looked at me
like I was a watery reflection
and finally,
I looked back.”

“I’ve got stories under my skin—
women whom I’ve adored in silence,
to whom I’d offer my whole being if they asked.
Peel my heart open like ripe mangos in August
or Post-its left in prayer rooms.
After de-converting, I sought repentance,
relentless in my search for a cure
in a man,
longing for a "he" to dim the light in my eye
that sparkles for curvy silhouettes and sharp tongues.
But I found no one.
My heart ached with an emptiness,
my soul bellowing in darkness
it didn’t need to endure.”

“Girl...
Lemme just go ‘head and let life be good.
Let life show me how safe it is to
bask in happiness,
shine in who I am,
bathe in long laughter with friends
and, give the present a real good look.
Nah, I’m playin’

I choose life to be good.
I choose to laze about in happiness with my house shoes on,
shine in the me I know best,
Breathe slowly in tear-eyed cackles
while knowing the present is a safe spot
to rub my feet together in.

Pfft, let.”

“It’s forever with you, nothing less.
We’ll undress the fears that never belonged to us.
No need to throw them in the hamper—
let’s burn the cloaks of ignored sores in the backyard.
Let the wind carry the ashes of threaded terrors,
never to be seen again.
We’ll kill time with machetes,
challenging who even made up that concept anyway.
Gaze upon the past with gratitude,
give our hard-earned lessons honorable curtsies,
and gift the present the good stuff—
you know, our attention.”

Capturing impossible by its strength.
The embedded granite alchemizes something serious.”

“Can someone bread crumb me to better days?
Lead me the section where ease and joy carry me the rest of the way.

Rest has left me and sleep is a phony companion.
My body is the proof.
My dark circles give evidence.
Can someone snag me out of this?”
― Jasmine Farrell, Rising From The Roots
