“It is not the the bruises on the body that hurt. It is the wounds of the heart and the scars on the mind.”

“In the shade of words sits life itself.”

“We sometimes just have to let things be.There are times in life that things happen, and we just cannot control them. There are times when we don't want things to happen, but they do. Things that we don't want to know, we learn. Times in which people we can't live without, we have to let go.The greatest learning is accepting what has, what is, and what will be. Remaining focussed on where we want to go, and how we want to get there. It might not go the way we planned, or the way we hoped it would be. No one said life would be easy, but at least we keep trying, and working hard at making it the best life it can be.”

“Thoughtful minds grow, in the sharpened awareness of those who have lived life; through love, curiosity and tragedy.”

“Sometimes the best journeys are those, that start when we do not plan, continue how we do not expect and are taking us places we do not know.”

“The heart stays heavy if it remains in a state of unforgiveness.”

“Be careful of what we say or do on this earth as every word and every action has a return.”

“Thoughtful minds grow, from the sharpened awareness of those who have lived life; through love, curiosity and tragedy.”

“I write to taste life twice; to savour the flavour of sweet times gone by, or spit out the bitterness before it multiplies.”

“Sometime we must visit old memories to make new ones.”

“Slavery remains rife, the shackles are just different. Labels and desires have replaced the cuffs and chains.”

“Sometimes we will love people not for who they are, nor for what we gain from them but what they are. Those people that reflect a light. Those that make it easy to love, make us willing to give, and make us wanting to be in their presence.”

“Power and control are more dangerous than any weapons.”

“Negativity only breeds more negativity. I wish to not allow it to enter my heart and not for it to take harbour. It may make itself a home and never leave.”

“A story is inside of us all. Each word and sentence is alive and we grace the pages to keep it from dying.”

“I have learnt that we expect honesty and genuineness from others, while not being honest and genuine with our own self.”

“In knowing you I, discovered my self.”

“Sometimes we must forge distance to gauge clarity in our vision and perception.”

“Tears are the words that the heart could not express, silent truths the eyes do confess.”

“Striking a balance in life is tough, but trying to strike balance and remain fair in the face of imbalance and oppression is even tougher.”
