“I know I am whole. Some times walking alone. I am bare and try not to care as people pick and stare. Highlighting flaws to hide their own. Tearing me down, telling me not to reach for my crown. As they dig their holes deeper, hoping I wither. But I have a drive. Soaring high I will thrive.”
― S.L. Vaden

“I don’t like it when someone says “get over it”, when someone is feeling a certain way. Feelings aren’t something one gets over, but to work through. Feelings aren’t like a wall, but a door to walk through and learn from. For someone to say, “get over it” is very dismissive. We shouldn’t even say it to ourselves. Emotions are a very human thing and one should not feel guilty in having them.”
― S.L. Vaden

“Inspiration comes in all forms. One never knows when or where inspiration might come. But when it does, grab a hold and never let go. Because it only comes when the timing is right. The wait might be long. But the idea, the thought is always worth the wait. Even if the wait is long.”
― S.L. Vaden

“For those who suffer from depression, it can feel like a shadow, never leaving your side. A torturer that lives within your own body that you can’t escape from. Know that you are not alone, that you are strong and there is help out there. Keep fighting towards the light, no matter how dark it may get. Because, one day, the storm clouds will clear, and a new day will dawn. To those who may know someone that suffers from the pain of depression. Know that it’s not something easily dealt with. It takes time, days even years, for some, like Iris a life time. Many suffer in silence. Be there for that person. Be the light in their darkness, help them see the sun, the moon and the stars. Because they are worth the fight. Let us all speak and hear, to heal.”
― S.L. Vaden, Iris Before The Storm

“When your trust has been betrayed, the only thing to do is live, learn and let go. Otherwise the betrayal done by another will turn into hate for them. But they will not feel this hate, it will only hurt you more, growing bigger and darker. So, live, learn and let go. By living, it means they did not hurt you so deep that you can not move forward. Learn, learn to not trust this person again, and to make more of a sound judgement in the future. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It means that you have let go of the pain it caused. And by not forgetting, you will learn and move forward from the betrayal of the past.”
― S.L. Vaden
