The ego hurts you like this: you become obsessed with the one person who does not love you. blind to the rest who do.
Warsan ShireThe sun is perfect and you woke this morning. You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.
Warsan ShireYou are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.
Warsan ShireIt's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.
