by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863–1923)
When you're feeling down, always remember,
that dark days will not last for ever.
There will be sunshine after the rain,
There will be pleasure after the pain.
― Mouloud Benzadi
if
the ocean
can calm itself,
so can you.
we
are both
salt water
mixed with
air.
― Nayyirah Waheed
