Quote by Flea

“I so often felt like a stray dog. A beautiful animal yes, but something ragged and wrong about me, that I'd never be fit for a more civilized society, and maybe never really know love.”

“Ai suoi occhi gli esseri umani erano sempre stati come l’aria, di cui non si avverte la presenza, ma adesso che la solitudine le serrava la gola, solo adesso sentiva per la prima volta quanto ne avesse bisogno, comprendeva come fossero importanti, persino quando mentivano, quando ingannavano, capiva che tutto in lei, la sua leggerezza, la sua sicurezza e allegria, dipendeva dalla loro presenza. Per decenni aveva nuotato nelle acque della società, senza sapere che esse la nutrivano e la sorreggevano, mentre ora, come un pesce gettato sulla riva della solitudine, sussultava per la disperazione e nel dolore della rivolta. Da " Storia di una caduta”

“It's me," a deep voice rumbled. The hands released me and I turned. There stood Derek, all six foot of him. Maybe it was just the thrill of seeing him, but he looked better than I remembered. His black hair was still lank, and his face was still dotted with acne. But he looked...better. ~~~~~ Tori waited until Derek was gone, then shuddered. "Okay, Derek always weired me out, but the wolf man stuff is seriously creepy. Suits him, I suppose. A creepy power for a creepy guy." "I thought he looked better." She stared at me. "What? He does. Probably because he's starting his wolf changes and he's not stressed out about being in Lyle House. That must help." "You know what will really help? Shampoo. Deodorant - " I raised my hand to cut her off. "He smelled fine, so don't start that. I'm sure his wearing deodorant and - for once-it's working. As for showers, they're a little hard to come by on the street, and we won't look much better soon." "I'm just saying." "Do you think he doesn't know you're saying? News flash-he's not stupid.”

“Emma swallowed hard. A lump formed in her throat, but she forced herself to breathe. “Why do you do that?” Mark tilted his head. “Do what?” Emma stepped closer, her voice trembling just slightly. “Push people away before they can leave.” Mark smirked again, but this time, it barely reached his eyes. “Because they always leave.”

“Forty-Three Candles Even silence aches when it’s the only thing that comes to visit. The clock gnaws each minute mother’s hands tremble like autumn leaves, father’s voice an old radio fading to static. Your family orbits other suns, siblings stitch their lives into quilts you weren’t asked to hold. The room grows teeth. Walls hum with static, while your phone stays stubborn as stone. Is this freedom? An unlocked door too heavy to push. You swallow the quiet, let it pool in your ribs a language without translation.”

“How many of us dads feel alone, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or burned out, like we’re dragging our feet, speechless, doubting our abilities, or just flat-out tired? I know it has to be a lot of us, because every dad I talk to mentions feeling like this multiple times, week in and week out. Turn over to social media, and you will find forums, groups, and influencers supporting dads feeling this way. It is a reality that being a dad is hard work and it wears on you. Support is what we need, but it seems impossible to find.”
