September always carries a heavy kind of magic, the days get shorter, shadows linger, and Mondays seem even darker. But here at Growls & Grimm, we believe the week can be softened with a little gothic wisdom. These five quotes are stitched with resilience, power, and moonlit encouragement to help you survive September’s Mondays (and every day after).
Every Scar is a Sentence in the Story of Your Survival
Resilience isn’t weakness, it’s poetry written on your skin. Each scar is proof that you’re still here, still writing, still shaping the chapters of your story.
You Weren’t Made to Be Palatable. You Were Made to Be Powerful
You were never meant to shrink yourself for smaller appetites. You are the storm, the spell, and the echo that lingers long after the page is turned.
Mondays Don’t Scare Me, I’ve Read Darker Plots and Survived Worse Twists
If we can survive cruel cliffhangers, character deaths, and plot twists that left us hollow. Mondays don’t stand a chance. This week is just another chapter, not the ending.
You’re Not Too Much. They’re Just Not Enough.
Darling, your depth isn’t excess, it’s richness. You are a cathedral of mystery, a novel too rich for shallow readers. Don’t dilute your ink to fit their margins.
Keep Going. The Moon is Watching.
Even in solitude, you are seen. Each step, each stumble, each rise again writes constellations into your story. The moon bears witness, so keep going.
