You can be a great many things.

How do you define family? Is it a limited view? Is it blood and blood alone?

Dedicate a specific amount of time each day to it, channel your love and your creativity into it, build it from the ground up.

Beauty can, should be, and is whatever we say it is.

the sky is only the highest you can reach if you do not accept the possibility of potential beyond what is known to your own two eyes. 

it is either the gasoline or the match. the heaviness of something foreign, or the quick spark that lights a fire.

i have loved you for an instant. for every instant. for a lifetime. 

You belong here in this wild adventure of a life. Nothing that is ever thrown your way can crush you.

Remember, that this day, this hour, will never happen again. Take each moment as it comes and be present.

Because kindness runs rampant, still, despite hatred.

Live life like it will end one day. Because it will. Time is not unlimited. Time is the one resource you have that will truly and utterly expire.
