3 quotes from Strangers to Ourselves

"Our memories are not static. They are fluid and changeable, shaped by the narratives we tell ourselves and the lives we lead."
"To forget is to free oneself from the burdens of the past, yet it also creates a void where identity once resided."
"Understanding others begins with understanding oneself, for our connections are often reflections of our own inner landscapes."
