“The ever-brilliant Nadia Bolz-Weber advises us to preach from our scars, not from open wounds. It’s solid advice that I try generally to follow in my writing, not just because writing from a hurting place is scary and traumatic and painful, but also because as you heal your perspective tends to shift a little when the absence of throbbing pain leaves room for more wisdom and grace to move in.”
Liz Petrone, “There is a Song Inside of You Yet” (via twloha)
“People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.”
Kim Culbertson (via hack-zone)(via tiny-facts)
“Find someone who pays attention. Who runs their fingers over your every scar; and asks where each one came from. Find someone who knows how you like your coffee; what song makes you want to roll the windows down and slam on the gas pedal. Find someone who takes in your smallest details; who notices the things you thought no one ever would. And then…when you find them… Be their someone, too. ”
