Thoughts From My Porch

“A poem begins with a lump in the throat.”

“Some memories never fade.”

“Ever since the first day I’d seen him, none of my thoughts made sense. My entire world had turned upside-down, and I had no explanation why.”

“You’re the wish I want to be true.”

“It’s funny how someone who was just a stranger last year, can mean so much to you now. It’s terrible that someone who meant so much to you last year, can be just a stranger now.”

“Do not be afraid to walk the path that you must go just because you cannot see the end. The path becomes clearer as you continue to go on.”

“There’s a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn‘t very loveable.”

“Some days are for falling in love with people; some days are for loving life and hanging out in cities; others are for quietly withdrawing from the world, and relishing the pleasure of your own company.”

“My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn’t go as planned, and that’s okay.”

“This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors.”

“What I really want is someone who will wake me up early so I won’t miss a sunrise.”

“Loving someone is giving them the power to hurt you, but trusting them not to.”

“Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don’t know why we are sad, so we say we aren’t sad but we really are.”
