Quote by Abby Wambach

“I meditate with my mala beads and ask myself hard questions: "Can I accept responsability for the things that happened, the things I created? Can I accept responsability for the hurt I've caused? That's why people get divorced--because they can't deal with the sad feelings they created. And until you can get right and accept the fact that you've shattered somebody, that you've broken their heart in more ways than one, there's no way that you've ever going to be able to survive.”

“التجاهل يا عزيزي.. ربما تظنه مجرد شئ عابر ولكنه يخلق شعور مقيت يتخلخل بداخلك ليساعد وسواس عقلك في بناء اسوء الأفكار على بقايا هدام روحك.. أنتِ قبيحة، أنتِ ممله، لا تتحدثي لا أحد يأبه لما ستقولين من سُخف، لا تحاولي لا أحد يحبك، لا تقتربي فلن تنالي سوى اليأس وستعودين هاربه لظلام وحدتك، لن يصادقك أحد ياعزيزتي سوى الأكتئاب والارق، يا لغبائك من سيكترث لمريضه مثلك.. عزيزتي البائسة لا أمل من محاولاتك البائسة فمتى ستكفي عنها ؟! ولذلك ارجوك منعًا لكل تلك الأفكار السوداوية التي تحتل عقلي وترهق روحي.. فقط لا تتجاهل أن لا تتجاهل”

“ها أنا ذا أجلس وحدي من جديد.. محطمه، بائسه ويائسه.. كل ما احتاج إليه هو دفئك، فقط أحتاجك أن تربت على قلبي ليطمئن.. ولكن كيف لك أن تواسيني وأنت سبب مأساتي! ف أنظر إلى نفسي بشفقه وأفعل ذلك عوضاً عنك.. واستمد البرد من نافذتي عوضاً عن دفئك.. عله يتسلل لقلبي ف أقوى على كرهك..!”

“So no, I don't think we can build a suit of armor against sadness and depression and genetics. Happiness isn't the antidote to depression, nor is it the distraction. Life isn't black and white like that. And if depression is the black and utter joy is the white, then maybe it's in the in-between where the colors are, where we can find sorrow and joy often coexisting right in the same moment. It's where most of us live most of our lives, most of our lives, most of the time. Most of us don't find ourselves in the black and white of either/or very often, nor would we want to. Usually we are both, nuanced, human.”
