this is my favorite quotes from "The Awakening --- “I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life; but I wouldn’t give myself. I can’t make it more clear, it’s only something which I am beginning to comprehend, which is revealing itself to me.”
it's just something i use to remind myself that being a woman comes with sacrifices, but there is a point where you have to realize that no one person is worth losing the growth you have attained. i would rather be alone than be with someone who made me doubt myself, or with someone who was trying to take my anonymity. i may never get married or have children, or live that kind of life, but if i retain that undeniable sense-of-self, then i have lived a full life.
