Quote by Adiba Jaigirdar

“Flavia might not understand it, but I think I do. After seeing the way they were together, with no inhibitions; that’s the way you are with people you love. I don’t say any of this to Flavia. Instead, I say, “Family can be difficult. Complicated. I get it.”

“Children are objectively important, and require care, attntion, stimulation, education. In lives that lack centres, it makes sense that these concrete tasks could fill the void: if we cannot name the moral terrain of our lives, we can make parenting our crucial moral task. And if this results in giving too much space to our children, it is only because we do not know what that space might otherwise contain.”

“Join the mob or go for what you want. Give yourself plenty of quiet time alone in order to get in touch with who you are...Focus power of thought. Remind yourself that the world is yours for the asking. The non-risker does not grow, you just get older. When you have decided which ideas, beliefs, relationships, and situations no longer work for you, it is time to release them. Let go of negative thoughts - view them as a flight of birds crossing your path. See them fly into view and continue on their way.' - from Joan Root's diary”
