Kindle Notes & Highlights
when you try to split your soul in half and live two different lives at the same time you can never be fully alive again
I know I’m a headache and I put you through so much and sometimes I seem like more trouble than I am worth but I can promise you that if you wait around for the sun to return I will light up your whole room
some people come into your life and some people were already there and already in your story all along just waiting for you to notice them like a favorite book on your shelf you never even knew was there
where humans fail me art fills my lungs
there was a darkness inside me that was bigger than five oceans and maybe I’d never learn how to drain it
what if I’m not a soul mate – what if I’m a friendly voice, a pat on the back, an encouraging set of hands meant to meld people into who they’re supposed to become? I don’t think that’s so bad. and if I am just a kind soul meant to bump into other souls on their journeys into the clouds, let it be, because loving isn’t the worst destiny in the world to be cursed with. let it be known: I am okay with that. I am okay with love. I have to be.
we are all born clean into a world smudged by fear and hatred it’s our own job to wipe our windshields and try to stay safe in a world that wants us dead
“comfort zones” are places where elderly people can sit in plush chairs in shopping malls to rest their legs they should not exist in anyone’s actual life if something does not fill your blood with fear and make your legs tremble and your voice quiver darling, it is not worth your time
find the story the world wants you to tell and go tell it find the words that only you can say and go say them
