"Remember who checks in on you when you get a little quiet. Those are your people. Your tribe. Your village. Call yourself fortunate if you have more than a handful of souls who actually notice when you go silent or withdraw.” ~Brandi L. Bates

"There is nothing glamorous about doing life alone. Hyper independence is a trauma response. You are not a burden. You deserve to be loved by people and be taken care of, held and loved in abundance. You deserve to be told, 'I love you, we care.’ Community is what we all need.”
