Quote by C. JoyBell C.

“It's truthfully difficult growing up a woman. When I was a girl, we lived in a small town for the most part and nobody cared to know about anything other than what they already knew. And I was something they didn't know. I really think it was harder for me than the average... girls hate you when you're adorable. Every girl in a small town wants to be the only one worth loving and I've always just had this champagne-bottle personality, unafraid to be soft. But girls took that from me, they really did. They hurt me until I had to toughen up. The best thing about being a woman is that, by now, I've learned how becoming even more like myself is more powerful than any tough exterior I could ever put on. They hate that. It really kills them.”

“I was obscuring my own light. I had been doing it for years. I had done it thinking I was doing what was best for my family, but in making the choice again and again to hide my light, I had reduced myself to someone who was fearful and dependent. In doing what I thought would make me safe, I had, in fact, made myself vulnerable. Deeply, frighteningly vulnerable.”

“When a woman says, "I want to be in love", does this always have to mean, "I want to be in love with a man"? Because I think that we can be "in love" as a state of being. As a state of waking up in the morning. We can be in love because we sink our teeth deeply into the skin and flesh of living. A man is simply another person, a small part of the teeth sinking. Being in love can be an attitude, an outlook, a character trait, one that relies on no one.”

“There is a big problem that arises from keeping the company of those with limited perceptions. At first you'll think you're being kind, or doing people a favour, but the problem you'll eventually face, comes with the realization that we exist to other people not always as we are; but very often, we exist to people as THEY are. So, imagine taking photos with a primitive lens: the primitive lens will capture your view only within its own capacity to do so, and you end up having an image that does not display a true understanding of what it shot. The same thing happens when you allow yourself to be surrounded by primitive mindsets. And you must not do that to yourself; you must not allow all these images of you floating around, none of which do you any justice at all.”
