Notes to Self Quotes

“She knew me beyond my actions
Beyond my shallow attempts at happiness.
She knew I had darkness
And when I undressed
And showed her what I was made of
She nodded
Knowing I was unrepairable
And said

'I'll be here for you anyway”
― Stacy Morris, Notes to Self

“It took me a long time to realise that mothers are women who carry you

And not necessarily in their womb.”
― Stacy Morris, Notes to Self

“You've got a lot to say for the one who walked away.”
― Stacy Morris, Notes to Self

“We all knew she needed help.
But none of us knew how.
And none of us could swallow our pride and just ask her what she needed.
I don’t know why.
Maybe we were too ashamed we didn’t know how to approach our own mother.

So we let the years slip unhappily past us and hoped we would never inherit the misery embedded in her soul.

But I did.

And I didn’t know how to say it aloud.
And I still don’t.”
― Stacy Morris, Notes to Self
