“Never forget me,”

you said at last, 



as if the coast

could forget the ocean



or the lung

could forget the breath



or the earth

could forget the sun.”

“Never forget me,”

she said, 


as if the coast

could forget the ocean


or the lung

could forget the breath


or the earth

could forget the sun.”

“Your mind is your garden, you determine what grows there. Cultivate loving, courageous and self-encouraging thoughts, for these are the seeds that will see you flower and flourish. While bitterness, fearfulness, despair and self-doubt should be stamped out by the root like a weed.”

“Your mind is your garden,

you determine what grows there.

Cultivate loving,

courageous

and self-encouraging thoughts,

for these are the seeds

that will see you flower and flourish.

While bitterness,

fearfulness,

despair and self-doubt

should be torn out by the root

like a weed.”

“Take care of your loved ones, particularly when they are doing everything in their power to push you away. A broken heart, like a wounded beast, will often lash out at those it is nearest, but that does not mean they don’t need you.”

“Reach for the stars, 

but child 

first recognise 

the constellations of light 

you already carry 

inside you.”

“We demand closure as though our lives were put together as neatly as novels, but the fact of the matter is they’re not. In real life, relationships are messy and poorly written, ending too early or too late, and sometimes in the middle of a sentence.”

“Finding you was like drawing the curtains on a warm spring morning day; a breath of light and new beginnings, as though the world itself had been remade.”

“Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness. A selfless gesture, a moment of reassurance, even the warmth of a single smile, can be enough to save a person. After all, even in the deepest darkness, all it takes is a little light to illumine the way forward.”

“You will discover,

just as the ballads and

novels promise,

that some loves

really are forever.

It is the time you have

together that is not.”
