Famous Marion Bekoe Quotes

“Love is not a sentence. It is a pattern. You can whisper it with your mouth, or you can prove it with your habits. Show me in the way you protect what matters. Show me in the way you keep your word. Show me in the way you choose me when it is inconvenient. Do not decorate me with promises. Demonstrate me with consistency. If you love me, let it be visible in your discipline. Let it be evident in your restraint. Let it be obvious in how you love yourself. Because the way you care for your own soul is the blueprint for how you will care for mine. Do not say it. Build it.”

“I look at you and see a life we’ve yet to build,
a love that feels inevitable, waiting to unfold. I look at your face and ache to make you smile,
to be the reason your eyes shine just a little brighter. I look at you and want to lift you higher,
to be the arms that catch you, the voice that fuels you. I look at you and dream of a future—our future,
where your children are mine, and mine are yours. I look at you and feel invincible,
as if with you beside me, there’s nothing I can’t conquer. I look at you and hesitate, unsure how to begin,
my heart racing over a name I don’t even know. I look at you as you walk past me,
our silent moment stretching between sips of coffee. I look at you as you turn, as you smile—
and then I look at you drive away with another woman,
because in the end, we are just strangers at the coffee shop.”

“I choose not to hurt because I wouldn't hurt myself. I choose to love you more because I love myself so much more. I choose to treat, respect and honor you as the King that you're because I treat, respect and honor myself as the Queen that I am. Don't be confused by this. I choose to be good to you because I'm good to myself.”

“Life is so beautiful when you have someone to share it with, but it's more beautiful when you find happiness in yourself while alone.”

“Avoid people who cannot put themselves in your shoes to see things from your perspective; such people see things one way, and that is their way.”

“The worst thing I can tell you is to be a man. Be a man means man up, act tough, take it like a man, have no emotions, make sure to lead, dominant, never submit, be strong, suck it up and don't you dare cry because it's a sign of weakness. When in truth, it takes courage to cry; faking a smile is easy. I tell my man to cry, and I will cry with him; laugh, and I will laugh with him; yell, and I will yell on top of the roof with him, we will rebuild even if we lose everything. He knows not to "be a man" around me other than himself.”
