stop it, I heard you. I know, thank you

Today. It is hard not to be grateful for everything we didn't become. For every wish and dream that didn't immediately appear. I am so thankful for the things that haven't happened and humbled me into trusting what has. We don't agree on everything, and I think it's beautiful how...

I wouldn't say I liked the height of what they told me I couldn't do.

I woke up one morning clearly seeing sparkles. I thought it was a beautiful scene where my dreams had gathered. It was a definite sign of something hopeful and inspiring. Yet when I explained the fantasies to the world, they kindly shut me down. Don't speak too loudly, shine too bright,...

When you lied and said, I love you. So I responded the same. We were both liars needing leverage.

We can outrun any feeling if you hurry fast. We can pretend to be anybody else, as long as it isn't anyone we know. Take your fingertips and scan them over the wooded forest we hide in, from the responsibility of giving half of who we are away. A love so potent, its scent soaks us for years...

Everywhere

It is true what they say, how fear keeps you cemented, keeps you unable to move forward. They say outside might be scary; there are people we don't know who might make us fragile. But we have a choice to make, travel into the unknown or stay here. Without the temptation of growth, we no longer...
