When we suffer in silence, we think that we are alone, different, separate. When we share our stories of suffering, we find that we are the same.

Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal.

One of the most difficult things I ever did was learn to support myself through my whole range of emotional experiences without running away.

You do not need any more strength. You only need to realize how strong you already are.

Emotions are not problems to be solved. They are signals to be interpreted.

A happy person is not without sorrow or grief. Happiness is the acceptance of pain, not the lack of it.

Sometimes, breaking down is the bravest thing you can do.

If you do not let yourself be seen, you cannot see.

Fall open. Break open. Sit with others' openness. Let love be your medicine.
