Mimi Memoirs Quotes

“If you don’t look at yourself, you can’t know yourself. If you don’t know your flaws, lumps and bumps then someone else can use them against you to make you feel inferior. I think you’re perfect just the way you are. I believe if you hide from who you are, you let everyone else define you instead of you. You are your power, embrace that and be beautiful.”
― Ella December, Mimi Memoirs

“You don't love an extraordinary woman the ordinary way.”
― Ella December, Mimi Memoirs

“She put her desire for a man who was not really in love with her ahead because she didn’t want to be by herself. I started to understand that there was no humiliation in being alone, but there was plenty in giving yourself to someone that did not really care about you.”
― Ella December, Mimi Memoirs

“You don’t have to be beautiful like her. You can be beautiful like you”
― Ella December, Mimi Memoirs

“Have you ever craved someone? It’s three in the morning and you can’t sleep because all you want is that person next to you. You never knew the value of a moment until your time with them became memories. These are memories that you play in your head every day because you would give anything and everything to have them lying right next to you. They don’t even need to speak or touch you; you just need their presence. This is because when you’re around them you feel so safe, so complete and so in love. You have been living for years before they came into your life, but once they’re in your life you have lived.
It’s heart-breaking when you roll over in your bed and you expect them to be next to you. You wait for their hand to pull you closer but you don’t feel that because they’re not there. It crushes you inside because you know why they’re not next to you. You pushed them away and they’re never coming back. Because of this you finally understand that quote “All good things must come to an end.”

“Men are not puzzles that you need to figure out and understand hidden clues. They are simple creatures that are straightforward with what they want. Stop chasing after a man you're trying to understand, whose silence you're convincing yourself means more than it actually does.”
― Ella December, Mimi Memoirs
