Charleston Sparkleton Q. Darlingpants III

“Today marks the end of the last chapter of the year. With the start of the first chapter of the New Year’s book, let's put the old book on the shelf or even in the lower drawer, and let's pick up the new one, carry crayons in our hands, and start writing a new colorful story.

يصادف اليوم نهاية الفصل الأخير من العام. مع بداية الفصل الأول من كتاب العام الجديد ، دعونا نضع الكتاب القديم على الرف أو حتى في الدرج السفلي ، و لنلتقط الكتاب الجديد ، ونحمل أقلام التلوين في أيدينا ، ونبدأ في كتابة قصة جديدة ملونة”
― Nadine Sadaka Boulos

“All I ask the new year for
is to fall silently into the spaces
that the last one left empty.
Filling them with a hope
that tells me gently at dawn
that my simple love
can cure even the most extraordinary heart
and that my broken past
is enough for each tomorrow that follows.
Maybe it will even remind me
that all the mistakes I will collect over the next year
are not as bad as the chances missed in the last one.”
― Laura Chouette

“Belief in yourself is more important than endless worries of what others think of you. Value yourself and others will value you. Validation is best that comes from within.”
― Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Dreams in a Time of War

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
― Jamie Anderson
