You think because he doesn’t love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn’t want you anymore that he is right — that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don’t. It’s a bad word, ‘belong.’ Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn’t be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can’t even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don’t wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can’t own a human being. You can’t lose what you don’t own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don’t, do you? And neither does he. You’re turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can’t value you more than you value yourself.
— Toni Morrison

Of Ruin and Renewal
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Sorting through the rubble
Of our painful past.
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Waiting for the dust
To settle at last
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Searching for eyes that see us
And walk through the debris
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal,
We rebuild, we revive,
We repurpose our own story.

When life starts to hurt, People start to ignore, Luck starts to blame and the Hard work starts to beat then sit for the complete set of gyming. And start to doubt yourself, hate yourself, blame yourself and make strong yourself because you’re the only inspiration of yourself.

Forbearance in the face of fate, beauty constant under torture, are not merely passive. They are a positive achievement, an explicit triumph.

God does not accommodate!
God is Holy and we must demand that any effort in His name must manifest the integrity of His nature as anything less than this is not worthy of His majesty, awesomeness, and holiness.

To see and feel one’s beloved naked for the first time is one of life’s pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.
