“There are indeed certain sorrows that never leave our hearts. They lie dormant, hidden beneath the surface of our skin, erupting loudly when provoked by even a single foul word.” PainSufferingPower Of WordsPast QuotesSorrow Quotes Book:The Black Shila Source: The Black Shila
“There is nothing more frightening than consciously confronting a choice that can irrevocably change our future. It's that very moment when choosing a path means forever burning all others. That was the feeling I experienced in that room, the moment I saw Serena, the woman with the glass eyes, pointing the gun at me.” ChoicesChoices And Consequences Book:The Black Shila Source: The Black Shila
“It ended there. All that could have been, but was not. Everything that was supposed to happen, but did not. When I think of who I was before that day, it seems like two different lives. There's a rupture, a discontinuity in the story. It's as if the girl I was had another ending, and the person I am now is the result of a completely different childhood. I have learned that in life, we have no right to make mistakes. One mistake can cost us everything. Yet, before reaching that point, it’s not a crime to fall apart. I allowed myself to lose my way because I had so much to say to all the perpetrators of my torment, but I would never get the chance. I had to bury those words so deeply, until they no longer mattered. This process left me on the verge of collapse. I admit, I only overcame the anguish of my failures when, some time later, I stopped deceiving myself. As I heard the music playing in the halls of Munlaat, I realized: bygones are bygones. What matters is now. It’s true that sometimes we need life to shine a light on us, or rather, put us in the spotlight. That meeting in the movement's camp did just that for me. I decided it was time to start making better decisions. My future was not in Thita.” Inspirational QuotesDeathFailureFuture QuotesDead End Book:The Black Shila Source: The Black Shila
“I think everything that happened in my life until now was by accident. I was never conscious. So many times I felt like when you are driving, and then you suffer temporary amnesia and you have no idea how you got there. Suddenly, I was here. I barely remember the way. Suddenly, I worked at this hospital. Suddenly, I lived in the suburbs. Suddenly, I was immersed in a million situations that I could not explain. Many like to think that we choose everything. This is an illusion. We do not choose where we are born, the house, the family, the name, the diseases, the intelligence and, the talent. So many things that are outside our zone of choice will influence our lives. To assume that we are on control is hypocrisy. Not that we do not have choices, we have them and we are responsible for them. But they are not an unlimited range. It is strange to analyze where I am today consciously. So I have often avoided doing so, I have preferred to ignore the hows and the whys.” Dead EndsAdriftAutopilot Book:Não culpo as estrelas Source: Não culpo as estrelas
“Acabou ali. Tudo o que podia ter sido e não foi. Tudo o que era para acontecer e não aconteceu. Se penso em como eu era antes desse dia, me parecem duas vidas distintas. Há uma ruptura, uma descontinuação da história. Como se aquela menina que eu era tivesse outro fim, e a atual fosse resultado de qualquer outra infância.” MorteSonhosMedoFracasso Book:A Shila Negra Source: A Shila Negra
