“Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin.”

“I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day.”

“I want to lay down, but these countries are like uncles who touch you when you're young and asleep.

― Warsan Shire, Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”
― Roman Payne
