“And that’s the difficult part, the traits you find most beautiful about the people you love become the things that are most painful to see after they’re gone. Even something as sweet as a smile can do an awful lot of damage when it comes from the person you yearn for.”

“I think you’ve really got to wait and see how things play out. Sometimes a decision you might consider a regret or failure in the present can turn out to be the catalyst for something extraordinary in the end. Some of life’s wildest journeys begin with a wrong turn.”

“This is your renewal, 

this is your regrowth. 

You may come into this softly 

or bristling with thorns, 

beneath the light of the sun 

or the moon and the stars, 

so long as you always remember 

it is never too late 

to return to the root of your heart

and begin again.”

“The secret is to never lose sight

of the simple, everyday miracles in life.

Good food, literature,

laughter, music,

compelling conversation,

nature, and art.

Look for them in every day,

and even when it feels

like your whole world is unravelling,

you will never be too far

from a needle and thread.”

“I hope you never steal

someone’s heart

just to fill a hole or heal a hurt.

A person’s love

is not a raincoat

you slip on only when it storms.”

“But how can you love

a person who is not whole?“



"Because you, like the moon,

are not only beautiful when full, 

in all of your fractions 

and phases

and ivory white pieces, I love you.’”

“As of late I’ve found physical attraction is no longer enough. I need human connection. I need to undress the layers of a soul before I feel a desire to tear away any clothes. Passion remains the fire, but now intimacy strikes the match, and friendship has become the fuel.”

“Rise and shine.

I’ve always

held such fondness

for that sweet old phrase.

As though we are all little suns.

As though

we are all someone’s day.”
