"Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less."
Maya Angelou (via macrolit)
Working to change the person your trauma made you into is a very hard thing to do, but becoming a better and happier you is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
