1 " If you don’t look at yourself, you can’t know yourself. If you don’t know your flaws, lumps and bumps then someone else can use them against you to make you feel inferior. I think you’re perfect just the way you are. I believe if you hide from who you are, you let everyone else define you instead of you. You are your power, embrace that and be beautiful. "
― Ella December , Mimi Memoirs
2 " You can be freak of the week, critical thinker & a domestic goddess all in one. There is a beauty in your layers, never dumb yourself down. "
― Ella December
3 " I love you even still...even still that you are so damaged that you do not recognise love when it is right in your face. I know you want love but you don't understand that love doesn't alays have to be pain. "
4 " You only love me when it's convenient for you. "
5 " You were too busy chasing unrequited love that you forgot you could be beautiful to someone. "
6 " Men are not puzzles that you need to figure out and understand hidden clues. They are simple creatures that are straightforward with what they want. Stop chasing after a man you're trying to understand, whose silence you're convincing yourself means more than it actually does. "
7 " You deserve someone who is utterly obsessed with you. "
8 " Everybody always wants to fix me but I am a beautifully flawed mess. "
9 " It's time I stopped looking for men and time I start looking for me. Then I'll find the happiness I've always wanted. "
10 " A body so poetic, every curve is a verse. "
11 " I love… I love black women.” My first reaction was to laugh and then smile. “You see I love that when you smile. I love your lips and your cheekbones. I love the fullness and that everlasting youth. I love the colour and how it comes in so many shades but none grey. The spectrum of heavenly chocolate to golden honey is irresistible. I love the variety of your beauty. "
12 " Stop being so emotional.""No, stop playing with my emotions. "
13 " Why are you smoking? Why are you smoking so much? This isn't you...""You were my old addiction, so smoking became my new one. "
14 " Have you ever craved someone? It’s three in the morning and you can’t sleep because all you want is that person next to you. You never knew the value of a moment until your time with them became memories. These are memories that you play in your head every day because you would give anything and everything to have them lying right next to you. They don’t even need to speak or touch you; you just need their presence. This is because when you’re around them you feel so safe, so complete and so in love. You have been living for years before they came into your life, but once they’re in your life you have lived.It’s heart-breaking when you roll over in your bed and you expect them to be next to you. You wait for their hand to pull you closer but you don’t feel that because they’re not there. It crushes you inside because you know why they’re not next to you. You pushed them away and they’re never coming back. Because of this you finally understand that quote “All good things must come to an end. "
15 " You don’t have to be beautiful like her. You can be beautiful like you "
16 " She put her desire for a man who was not really in love with her ahead because she didn’t want to be by herself. I started to understand that there was no humiliation in being alone, but there was plenty in giving yourself to someone that did not really care about you. "
17 " My biggest fear is that I will always be a work in progress. "
18 " We can't be together but we can't be apart. "

19 " Poison can be pretty, roses have thorns too. "
20 " You're a mistake that I enjoy making. "
