Women With Their Cats, 1960s.

Bob Marley (1973) Location: Kingston, Jamaica

“You reach a point in life where you no longer want to impress anyone.

You no longer want to explain, to convince, or to chase after anything.

You want peace. You want truth. You want real people.

You’ve been where you gave everything… and it still wasn’t enough.

You’ve been around people who lost you easily… because they never truly understood you.

And now you know:

Better alone than surrounded by empty presences.

Better authentic than loved for a mask.

Better silence than conversations that no longer nourish you.

It’s not arrogance. It’s healing.”

"open when alone"
