Quote by Sarah Peyton

“Our infant bodies don’t actually know that we are separate beings at all. An infant only exists in relationship. It is natural for infants to try to give the only thing they have—their own nervous systems—to try to balance and care for their parents. This longing for the other’s well-being can become an unconscious contract to always try to make things better for the people we love, no matter the cost to ourselves. Peyton, Sarah. Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care (p. 16). W. W. Norton & Company. Kindle Edition.”

I'm going to dance now, I'm afraid.”

“You think you know a place,” he says. “You think you’ve got it all figured out, but it’s like with camerawork. You just adjust your position, “Cameron and the other guys take their smoke breaks up here,” he explains. The two of us sit down, and for a few minutes we just live here in this moment without a word between us. Finally I break the silence. “How is it I’ve lived here all my life and I’m just now seeing this view of Clover City?” A soft smile plays at Malik’s lips. “You think you know a place,” he says. “You think you’ve got it all figured out, but it’s like with camerawork. You just adjust your position, even slightly, and suddenly you’re telling a different story. Seeing a new world.”
