The Freedom of Forward Quotes

“One of the greatest torments I've ever inflicted on myself was mentally replaying and constantly remembering the details, emotions, and words associated with the times that shook, offended, and hurt me most.”
― Morgan Richard Olivier, The Freedom of Forward

“If you mean me no good,
please leave me alone. I won’t return or match your energy. I won’t talk about you… especially if I’m not talking to you. I say this not to reject you,
but to protect myself. If you can’t contribute to the peace
I have in my life, by all means,
do not disturb it.”
― Morgan Richard Olivier, The Freedom of Forward

“High functioning does not mean not struggling.
Keeping a brave face does not conquer
the chaos within you or calm the storms around you. Yet somehow, we've convinced ourselves suffering
in silence is an attribute of those who are strong. Falling apart from the inside out is fine
as long as you are well put together externally.”
― Morgan Richard Olivier, The Freedom of Forward
