“I'm not sure I'll ever know the meaning of life or what comes for us after death, but I know it's more than the hysteria people make it out to be. It's about freeing your soul when no one else can; turning thirty and still feeling like you're seventeen. It's about taking chances on a whim, embracing the rain during the storm, and smiling so damn much that you start to cry. It's never regretting, never forgetting, and always being.

It's kissing underwater and touching in the dark. Loving even when you think it's emotionally impossible and surviving someway and somehow.

It's about living life with a full heart and an overflowing glass.

I live life on the edge. I dream, I care, and I belong.

I know there's a here and now.

I know that I want it.”

A catastrophic silence where our thoughts and feelings collide ...

― Nadège Richards, 5 Miles

“There goes the girl with the wings," they say. "The damned dreamer with her eyes shut to the world."

"There goes the misguided soul with her heart buried in the ground."

They taunt. They lie. They lie. THEY LIE.

I don't pretend to understand life. THEY LIE.”
― Nadège Richards, 5 Miles

“And so I've written everything down, too afraid of my demons and what they may say, the doubt that eats at me from the inside. Too afraid that I'll forget and it'll all be a madwoman's dream.”
