Laurie Halse Anderson  - Quotes

 The only number that would ever be enough is 0. Zero pounds, zero life, size zero, double-zero, zero point. Zero in tennis is love. I finally get it.

Khalil Gibran  - Quotes

 And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart:



Your seeds shall live in my body,

And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,

And your fragrance shall be my breath,

And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.

Laurie Halse Anderson  - Quotes

 There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore.

Laurie Halse Anderson  - Quotes

 Another page turns on the calendar, April now, not March.



.........



I am spinning the silk threads of my story, weaving the fabric of my world...I spun out of control. Eating was hard. Breathing was hard. Living was hardest.



I wanted to swallow the bitter seeds of forgetfulness...Somehow, I dragged myself out of the dark and asked for help.



I spin and weave and knit my words and visions until a life starts to take shape.



There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore.



I am thawing.
