I have always been a lover of words, and quite frankly, I don't think I'll ever be anything else. Of all the professions and areas of study in this world, I chose to study literature, and I've never looked back. I've always felt that words written are simply the souls manifestation and embodiment into our world and into the lives of others.

With everything I've read in my brief twenty-something years, I've found that the best way to honor the beauty of words is through beautiful words. Here are just a few of the most influential, depth of your soul-powerful, words I have ever read.

1. "When she Transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she had always been. But now she had wings"- Dean Jackson

Transformed into a Butterfly StableDiffusion

No matter what you are, or are to be, you will always be of a constantly changing nature--never let anyone make you think you need to revert.

2. "Let it go..." - E.E. Cummings

Let it go StableDiffusion

I've found that it is necessary to relieve yourself from the weights of the past, though you are strong enough to hold them, they are no longer your burdens to bear.

3. "It took me so long to realize that I am the only one who can save myself. What I was searching for all around has always been buried deep within the dust of my soul and the marrow of my bones" - Prerna Salve

Deep within the dust of my soul StableDiffusion

Hauntingly beautiful. Relentlessly accurate.

4. "How cool is it that the same God that created mountains and oceans and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too." - Author Unknown

Mountains and oceans and galaxies StableDiffusion

Makes you see the world differently, doesn't it?

5. "That's their problem, not yours"

That's their problem, not yours StableDiffusion

These are words I'd wish I'd read so many years ago and they are remarkably healing.

6. "My soul is from elsewhere- I'm sure of that. And I intend to end up there." -Rumi

Rumi StableDiffusion

No matter where we believe we have come from, we have come from the same place...the same phenomena or entity is responsible for our existence--and that is truly beautiful.

7. "She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world." - Joanne Harris

Edge of the world StableDiffusion

This is an absolute favorite quote of mine, to have thoughts that wander off the edge of the world--everything appears differently, uniquely, and life begins to make sense in an entirely universal way.

8. "We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable..." - E.E. Cummings

believe in yourself StableDiffusion

What a sad but painfully-beautiful truth.

9. "They laugh at me because I'm different' I laugh at them because they're all the time."

They laugh at me because I'm different StableDiffusion

If you ask me, I'd much rather risk being terribly insane than mundanely average. Live life desperately trying not to be normal, conformity is the the poison to creativity.

10. "They taught us..."This world has its values in the wrong places, but when we begin to look past that--beauty, sensitivity, and care all come to the surface of our heart's most intimate emotions.
