If you want to find the trail,
if you want to find yourself,
you must explore your dreams alone.
You must grow at a slow pace
in a dark cocoon of loneliness
so you can fly like wind,
like wings, when you awaken.
- Francesca Lia Block, Dangerous Angels
And I realised that some things just don't work that way. Life isn't a fairy tail. And the person you fall in love with doesn't always love you back. But that's ok, because at the very least it makes you stronger and brings you to a place where can fall in love with yourself. And that to me is more important than finding someone that only makes you complete when they are around, it's really about finding the person that will teach you ALL the lessons you need to know so that you feel complete all by yourself.
- Bethany Brookbank, Write Like No One is Reading
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
- Carl Jung
We lose ourselves in things we love. We find ourselves there, too.
