Confessions of Aedyn Rhys

“If it is destroying you then it is not love my dear.”

“When someone won’t let you in, eventually you just stop knocking.”

I want to be the kind of person who can walk inside the vast darkness and find the one fragment of sunlight I can linger in for a long time. Some day, I will.

“Be kind, work hard, stay humble, smile often, stay loyal, be honest, travel when possible, never stop learning, be thankful always, and love.”
