someone who loves you just told a sweet story about you. someone else just saw your favorite food in the store and almost bought it even though you’re far away. someone walked past your house and thought the garden looked nice. you are never as alone as you feel

“Wine, Roses, and Sweet Whispers” by David Patterson, 2003

when he says “ily”, but Achilles once said “i would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and i deaf. i would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. and i would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion."

Don’t let your empathy rob people of experiencing the consequences of their actions.

It’s crazy how everything you’ve been through can make you question something good when it’s right in front of you. You get so used to expecting the worst that peace starts to feel unfamiliar, and you end up waiting for something to go wrong because that’s all you’ve ever known

Who comes to your rescue?

Love and light yeah but also sacred rage and darkness

I’m so quiet about my feelings. I feel like I can’t be vulnerable with a soul on this earth & i really hate that for me because i crave connection more than anything.
