One day you are going to look at someone and say,
'I survived'
There is great satisfaction in that. Even more if the person staring back comes from your mirror.

My grieving heart felt understood 💗

The little flower
pulled in all the
elements to grow--
the soil, the sun, the rain.

For it knew, the things
that give us life
are often the very things
that encourage us to change.

-Time Will Tell, pg. 104

May your weapon be kindness
Your shield compassion
May the flowers grow again
To sprout love from all this sadness

-Pillow Thoughts, pg. 127

Happy New Year! 🍾

It's the last day of the year
and I still lose myself
in good books
and warm tea,
those quiet nights
and writing your name
on my windshield.

-Pillow Thoughts, pg. 48

You shouldn't rewrite the steps
you have taken or udo the stitches
you have woven.

Every step leads you along the path
to where you arrive every day,
and all the stitches sew together
the person you are becoming.

-Time Will Tell, pg. 94

True words from Courtney Peppernell
#Love
#Patience
#Kindness

Breathe in, breathe out slowly, and count to ten. There is no rule book on how to cope when these things end. You may not feel it now, but things will get better even if life doesn't tell you when.

-Pillow Thoughts, pg. 79

The moon whispered
into my dreams one day,
'When I say I am here,
I don't mean I am here
out of habit.

I mean I am here
because your face
In my reflection
is the most beautiful thing
about this planet.'

-Time Will Tell, pg. 64

It's an amazing thing
to have a mind
that is its own universe--
filled with endless possibility.
There is no shame in taking
time to process grief or anger
or difficulty.
Your mind has every right
to protect itself.

-Time Will Tell, pg. 59

You remind me that my heart is still alive
Because every time you come home
it beats so hard
it brings me back to life.

- Pillow Thoughts, pg. 47

Happy Holidays, Jellyfish! ❤️🎄

No one chooses
the way you mend
the things that
another broke.

No one tells you
the way you put
𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧
back together again.

Time Will Tell, pg. 58

But the world is exhausted, and the only wealth we have left is love.

- Pillow Thoughts, pg. 45

And I hope that
I can be a refuge --
that you see yourself
the way my eyes do,
that you hear your worth
In the sound of my voice,
that you feel at home
in my heart.

- Time Will Tell, pg. 42

The world still has much love to give, and I see it; I hope that those blinded by hate and rage will feel it. A love so fiery it becomes the colors of cherries, and candles, and lipstick, and they will finally see the world with all its love to give.

Pillow Thoughts, pg. 41

I can always tell
when the clock has stopped,
lost in time.

The hands stop ticking,
stagnant, paused, frozen.

But when I am lost,
It is not so easy.

I carry on blindly, unable
to pinpoint the moment
I froze.

- Time Will Tell, pg. 33
