Quote by Suman Pokhrel

“I was watching a city taking shape like raging delusions from the deposits of migrating lovely pristine villages. Grown playing in dusty streets, I was searching myself standing on bifurcating streets between growing houses in times dangerous even to tread.”

“I. Those of us born by water are never afraid enough of drowning. Bruises used to trophy my knees from my death-defying tree climb jumps. Growing up, my backyard was a forest of blackberry bushes. I learned early nothing sweet will come to you unthorned. II. At twelve your body becomes a currency. So Jenny and I sat down and cut up all our clothes into nothing. That year I failed math class but knew the exact number of calories in a carrot stick. I learned early being desired goes hand in hand with hunger. III. The last time I tried to scream I felt my father climbing up through my throat and into my mouth. IV. There is a certain kind of girl who reads Lolita at fourteen and finds religion. I painted my eyes black and sucked barroom cherries to red my tongue. There was a boy who promised Judas really did love Jesus. I learned early every kiss and betrayal are up for interpretation. V. I think he must have conferenced with my nightmares on exactly how to hurt me. VI. He never broke my heart. He only turned it into a compass that always points me back to him.”

“To look after a garden involves a kind of getting to know that is somehow always in process. It entails refining and developing an understanding of what works and what does not. You have to build a relationship with the place in its entirety – its climate, its soil, and the plants growing within it.”

“Who really understands you? Who wants to hear what you feel? Most people will answer, “No one.” Some few will say “So-and-so would like to hear it, but he can’t understand me really.” Very few people have someone they can share inner experience with, and then only up to a point. And even with yourself: have you not left certain places dark? Without even knowing just why you are scared of them? Or how you would go into them? Being so largely unknown and unseen makes us feel somewhat unreal, as if we exist only to ourselves and perhaps not quite even that.”

“Accountability is one of life’s sharpest mirrors. It doesn’t flatter... It doesn’t filter... It reflects. Because of this, sometimes what you see hurts… but this pain isn’t your enemy... avoidance is. The discomfort you feel from taking accountability is the friction that will sharpen your soul and refine your path. It hurts (a lot sometimes), but the sting you feel can be the birth of change. Real accountability isn’t just taking blame... It’s taking responsibility. Remember, healing begins the moment blame ends. Don’t run from it... run through it! Let today be the day you no longer allow yourself to be shackled by the stagnant cycle of blaming others. Take accountability for your actions and decisions, regain control of your story, and unlock the unlimited potential of your growth.”
