Quote by Michael J Heil

“If you use sex outside its proper context, it will hijack your emotions, get you into a bunch of stupid situations, and eventually control your wellbeing. I’m sure you’ve been hurt by all sorts of relationships in the past, and they’ve probably torn you up, caused you to get into fights, ate away at your self-worth, made you sick to your stomach. Well, that’s why. Acknowledgement and appreciation are legitimate needs, but sleeping around is not the way to meet them.”

“So many memories come to mind—the child you were, the adult you’ve become—so much anguish for what happened all those years ago. You never wanted to let anyone down, I know. You feel everything so intensely. Just don’t tell me that you don’t deserve better. You do. Don’t tell me you’re a failure. You’re not. We learn from every mistake. That’s not failing; it’s growing. You are a beautiful, empathetic being of love and light. And don’t say hope will damn you. It won’t always, I promise.”

“I am a troubled and vexed human being drowning in the fear born of the insurmountable wounds left by a journey from which recovery is unlikely. And although my limp dramatically diminishes my gait and my trauma screams the insanity of entertaining any notion of limping forward, I simply cannot surrender to wounds, or limp, or trauma. For it is the troubled and vexed person who understands better than any other that while recovery might be unlikely, victory is not.”
