“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.
The people who are meant for you are going to meet you
on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort
zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of
being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are.”
Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

Marilyn Monroe
“But as long as one is alive, one can be vital. But you don't give up until you stop breathing.”
Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words

Sylvia Plath
“In March I'll be rested, caught up and human”
Sylvia Plath

Anaïs Nin
“Her beauty goes to my head.”
Anaïs Nin

Louise Glück
“And if you missed a day, there was always the next,
and if you missed a year, it didn't matter,
the hills weren't going anywhere,
the thyme and rosemary kept coming back,
the sun kept rising, the bushes kept bearing fruit–”
Louise Glück, Poems, 1962-2012
