In spite of the sorrow and with sorrow accompanying, we must keep being active, stay aware, and continue to love one another through these uncertain times.

Loving anyone deeply can be a challenge because your mind is never quite sure and neither is your heart.

There is a time for everything and today, it is time to give gratitude to those who help us grow. The naysayers, the endlessly supportive, and even the apathetic.

People can become a home; a refuge and you should let them be if you need help. Humans were not meant to live in isolation.

Take a walk in the woods (alone),
And there you will find all of the questions
That remain unanswered in your mind.

Tattoos do not always have to mean something. However, if they do, you will always have a piece of your past with you, even if it is a part of your present and future.

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul.”

You believe that people matter because they matter, not because they have something to offer you.

You can love shopping and love sports. You learn to not limit yourself to what you enjoy because you find the human experience to be too complex to categorize it.

My body wishes to be beside your body.
My mind, your mind.
My heart, your heart.
(I miss you).

In a perfect world, there would be enough. Enough money for education, for creativity, and for every dream or goal we wished to accomplish. But we do not live in a perfect world nor do we need to for it to be a good world.

The way we perceive ourselves matters and if, as impressionable children, we are taught that our bodies are ‘dangerous’—it can be detrimental to the way we approach future sexual relationships.

Have I become comfortable with my life for the sake of self-preservation?

As ‘distant’ as you make yourself seem, you will (oddly) do anything for a stranger. And not just because you feel morally obligated to but because it is actually something you love doing.

You realize that people are uncomfortable with discussing death because they are afraid of dying. And you can’t judge them for that. It can be a scary idea to sink your teeth into but you have found a solace in accepting the imminent.

We can only understand what being considerate really means, for ourselves and how our actions will affect others, when we define it for ourselves. It will depend on our personalities, our emotional well-being, and our specific circumstances.

Because,
When I am in love
I not only believe in stability, logic, and order
but, in passion, in chaos, and the impermanence of the heart’s decision.

“The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.”
