Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“After much conversation, the tomato plant finally understood that it might not be beautiful, but it can satisfy a hungry palette with its rich flavor. And the rose bush understood that it cannot feed the stomach, but it can fill the senses with its lavish beauty and sweet scents. And from that point forward neither had the desire to be the other, for they understood that such a foolish action would have caused them to lose the marvelous ability to complement the other.”

“The trauma recovery with a narcissistic mother (or father) is not an easy one. There may be bumps in the road. You may have grown up feeling rejected, ostracized, or condemned. You may have moments when your inner critic screamed awful words to you. Essentially, healing means you must release codependent relationships with toxic folks. It starts by identifying and understanding the shameful messages and beliefs that were transferred from the perpetrators to you, which are false. In effort to heal your mother wound (or father wound), it requires you to replace the negative, internalized messages to be transformed into positive self-talk that is kind, loving, nurturing, and respectful.”

“Honor He Wrote (The Sonnet) I am not a writer, writers have limits, I have none, I only have responsibility, The responsibility to unite the world, The responsibility to humanize humanity. We are setting out on this journey, With the awareness of being responsible, For responsibility makes one honorable, Honor makes one responsible. Fervor of honor is beginning to fade, From the fabric of society and self. It is definitely no sign of progress, In fact it is a sign of utter decadence. Honor is, in truth, another name for character. With the demise of honor all good will disappear.”

“To do without self-respect, on the other hand, is to be an unwilling audience of one to an interminable documentary that details one's failings, both real and imagined, with fresh footage spliced in for every screening. (...) To live without self-respect is to lie awake some night, beyond the reach of warm milk, phenobarbital, and the sleeping hand on the coverlet, counting up the sins of commission and omission, the trusts betrayed, the promises subtly broken, the gifts irrevocably wasted through sloth or cowardice or carelessness. However long we postpone it, we eventually lie down alone in that notoriously uncomfortable bed, the one we make ourselves. Whether or not we sleep in it depends, of course, on whether or not we respect ourselves." To protest”
