Quote by butterflies rising

“let a woman have her own worth. let her value be found in who she is. not in who she is to a man. not in who she is to whom she supports, or serves, or takes care of, or carries weight for. not who she is in the context of anyone else’s story. just who she is. as she is. bare, alone, unburdened, beautiful, and worthy.”

“i don't think we're taught enough how much energy matters in connection and to listen to our intuition… we’re told what we feel isn’t “real.” but the physical or just actions or words; not one of those things alone can tell us everything. and so i listen to the way things feel… i listen when something doesn’t feel right. but then… i also love in energy because i don't think anything could be more real.”

“i’ve had poems pull me out from the darkest places i've ever been in. like scripture. and music… i could probably write an entire book just about the ways that music has shifted me and changed me and moved me and saved me. like gospel. so when i say that “poetry is my scripture” and “music is my gospel,” i am saying that there are poems and songs that are carrying my soul from one breath to the next in this life.”

“it's maybe one of my favorite feelings ever… my friends and i call it “suspension.” it's when a connection creates an energy between you and another person or a group of people… and that conversation or that night or that experience or that moment you're in with them just becomes all there is, and you just lose time together. the way that energy can just feel infinite… i'm pretty sure it's some kind of magic.”

“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8 color type...I'm like, hey girl, Magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no I want Magenta!”
