Quote by Lienner Bankole

“Sometimes, you just need to hear it - and in the event, like myself, you do not hear these words very often, I am going to say them to any who needs to hear them… I offer you this reminder, in case the bully that is your mind - should decide to play games with your self esteem today: You matter. You’re beautiful. You’re important. You’re loved. And despite the negativity you may tell yourself, your presence, YOU, on this earth makes a difference, whether you believe it or not.”

“The people around you are mirrors, I think to myself. The dog is paddling in the lake, I watch her lap at the water. You see yourself reflected in their eyes. If the mirror is true and smooth, you see your true self. That's how you learn who you are. And you might be a different person to different people, but it's all feedback that you need, in order to know yourself. But if the mirror is broken or cracked or warped, I continue, taking another drag, then the reflection is not true, and you start to believe that you are this bad reflection. When I look in Courtney's eyes, I see a crazy, overbearing woman, with unbearable good fortune, who is trying to ruin him. I pause. I love him, but he hates me, that is what I see. I will have to tell Courtney to leave. I can't live with him anymore.”

“No matter how good I was, no matter how much I pleaded for it or worked for it, I could never make everyone understand me. If my self-esteem was dependent on other people’s feelings, it would never be under control. I’d be on a ship rocking back and forth between emptiness and salvation, never able to really find my feet.”
