#Healing

"I can do this… I can start over. I can save my own life and I’m never going to be alone as long as I have stars to wish on and people to still love."

"I know that this process of ‘me changing my life’ doesn’t just end once I set fire to this list of things I hate about myself. Tonight isn’t as much of a new beginning as it is a violent end and I know the real work hasn’t even started yet."

"Scars are but evidence of life,"Coquette said. "Evidence of choices to be learned from...evidence of wounds...wounds inflicted of mistakes...wounds we choose to allow the healing of. We likewise choose to see them, that we may not make the same mistakes again."

"We are not to be occupied with our feelings or symptoms,or our faith or lack of faith,but only with what God has said"

"I just want your voice aimed at me again. I want to absorb the direction of your eyes…"

"The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it..."

"But no matter how much evil I see, I think it’s important for everyone to understand that there is much more light than darkness."

"Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues"say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over."

"I could watch him do this until morning — never asking questions and never interrupting his work. I worship quietly — his intense focus and attention to detail and then, out of no where, I realize the inconvenient, inappropriate truth: ‘I love this man… and it has swallowed me."

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.From an Irish headstone"

"Take Care of Yourself First- It’s Easier to Serve Others That Way."

"Compassion crowns the soul with its truest victory."

"If ever I was running, it was towards you."

"And so I wait. I wait for time to heal the pain and raise me to me feet once again - so that I can start a new path, my own path, the one that will make me whole again."

"Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason."

"I want you to trust yourself, baby. Love is all that matters and you’ve always known that. You’ve known, since you were a very little girl, what your life is meant to be about…"

"Frustration and Love can’t exist in the same place at the same time, so get real and start doing what you would rather be doing in life. Love your life. All of it. Even the heavy shit that happened to you when you were 8. All of it was and IS perfect."

"The best relationships in our lives are the best not because they have been the happiest ones, they are that way because they have stayed strong through the most tormentful of storms."

"As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course."

"Healing Follows Forgiveness"
