Quote by Mary Manin Morrissey

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?”

“I’m tired. The conductor has given me a pass. Maybe she saw into me, that I’m headed to a hotel room alone, to a wedding alone, that I stop myself from speaking more often than not. It’s hard to say that I used to love someone, that now I might love someone else, because I’m a coward.”

Love Poetry Poem Solitude Being Single Unmarried

Author:Cat Richardson

“You're coming home again. what does that mean? Can there be anyone here who still needs you, who would still want to count you as his friend? You're home, you've bought sweet wine to drink with supper, and staring out the window bit by bit You come to see that you're the one who's guilty: the only one. that's fine. thank god for that. or maybe one should say, "thanks for small favors" It's fine that there is no one else to blame, It's fine that you are free of all connections, It's fine that in this world there is no one who feels obliged to love you to distraction. It's fine that no one ever took your arm and saw you to the door on a dark evening, It's fine to walk, alone, in this vast world toward home from the tumultuous railroad station It's fine to catch yourself, while rushing home, mouthing a phrase that's something less than candid; You're suddenly aware that your own soul is very slow to take in what has happened.”

“I didn’t choose any of this. Not my family, not my house, not my parents, not my school. This town is overflowing with things I never wanted. But everyone goes around with blank expressions on their faces, like they’re wearing matching masks or something. It freaks me out. People here confuse boredom and stagnation with peace and safety.”

“I am beginning to properly enjoy myself, to revel in the fact that when I am walking, nobody knows where I am or what I'm doing. This realisation continued today on the shoreline, as looking and learning about the seaweeds through Ellen Hutchins's curiosity, I began also to appreciate the beauty she saw all around her as she walked - to understand how happy she was here in her solitude.”
