Who told you only the soft could be good mothers?
That mothers could not be dragons in disguise?
That women who teach their daughters how to preserve
themselves by breathing out lightning were any less
than wild, magical things when teaching their young
about war and love's terrible lies?

Additional quotes by Nikita Gill

Love someone who is kinder to you than you are to yourself.

Reinvent yourself. Over and over again. Plant new wildflowers into your spirit. Set a wildfire inside yourself and then regrow. Take the wildest thing about you and nurture it till it blossoms. Tend to the sea that resides inside your heart and listen to its storms, wash you anew. How else will you let go of everything that causes you such terrible harm if you are still living inside the old you, the person who was so damaged by it all?
