I am the book you always open but you never read the story so far.

---

Sometimes life gives you lemons because you’re the lemonade.

---

We carry our stories like shadows—unseen but always present.

---

Even broken clocks survive time — so can you.

---

I killed my own happiness in such a young age by loving some one more than myself.

---

---

The storm always looks stronger from the shore.

---

Life doesn’t promise clarity, but it offers questions worth asking.

---

Chapters end so stories can deepen.

---

I was silent as a child, and silenced as a young woman; I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth, now, but usually from those whose opinion I don’t respect. – Sandra Cisneros
