Human interaction and expression is laced with complications – it’s layered with the unspoken, overshadowed, and misinterpreted.

You can’t click with everyone, and frankly, it’s better that way. It makes the clicks that do happen so much more amazing.

Lately I feel certain that if you don’t utilize whatever is churning inside of you, it will expire, and that is a tremendous waste.

I think it is much of what happens prior to getting into a relationship that determines the quality of that relationship.

We imagine things in grandeur, then the reality falls short and we’re deflated by the dissonance. But we shouldn’t be.

Most of the time, we’re distracted by what we don’t have, what isn’t working, what falls short. It’s kind of a shame that that’s what we’re more inclined to notice.

Basically, if you never count on people, put your hopes into opportunity, believe in yourself and others, then what’s the point?

While part of us will always wish for the best moments to last forever, we know, ultimately, that they neither can nor should.

If you’re lucky enough to discover what you love, you have to hold on to it. You have to show up when it matters – despite fatigue, ambivalence, anxiety, and doubt.

It’s remembering how you felt in a moment, vividly. The same shivers on your skin, ripple through your veins, smile forming inadvertently. It’s reliving it but this time from the outside.

It’s only as challenging as it is rewarding. It’s the type of place that won’t just give — it will expect more of you, it will ask that you earn.

Not all loss is the same. There’s the severing of paths and there’s permanent loss and there’s tragedy. They all hurt, but to different extents and in different ways.
