This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they've never been. - Glennon Doyle

My children do not need me to save them. My children need to watch me save myself.

It's not the cruel criticism from folks who hate us that scares us away from our Knowing; it's the quiet concern of those who love us.

I will not stay, not ever again — in a room or conversation or relationship or institution that requires me to abandon myself. When my body tells me the truth, I'll believe it. I trust myself now, so I will no longer suffer voluntarily or silently or for long.
