“Miracles can be found in the most unlikely of places. I found the light not by swimming to the surface, but by letting myself drown in the seas of my deepest fears. Not by eradicating the dark, but by embracing it. I realized that there is no such a thing as darkness, only light and the absence of it.
It is there in the light of unconditional love that I finally found the freedom I had been searching for so long.”

that fear is a welcome

you will have ever heard”

are monumental
but not for a mortal
so my devoted

to never beg for any man
you are your own wildflower
wild and free
in your devotion to
finally, only you
and you forevermore”
― M.M. van der Reijden, Winter Magnolia
