Warsan Shire quotes
It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me. 
Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel. 
At the end of the day, it isn't where I came from. Maybe home is somewhere I'm going and never have been before. 
later that night i held an atlas in my lap, ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered where does it hurt? it answered everywhere everywhere everywhere. 
The ego hurts you like this: you become obsessed with the one person who does not love you. blind to the rest who do. 
His eyes were the same colour as the sea in a postcard someone sends you when they love you, but not enough to stay. 
With you, intimacy colours my voice. even 'hello' sounds like 'come here'.
