Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of giving space and freedom in relationships. Smothering someone, whether emotionally or physically, impedes their personal growth and stifles their individuality. Just as plants need sunlight to thrive and grow, individuals need space to explore their own identity, pursue their dreams, and develop their own talents. It serves as a reminder that healthy relationships require balance, respecting boundaries, and allowing both partners to flourish independently.

I dreamt of turrets and craggy ledges where the windswept rain blew in from the ocean with the odor of violets.
