I just want to be enough

“Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Take the moment you have and make it perfect.”

This country too: time for fire, time for an end, time for what grows out of ash to grow.

Truth was a changing display in a shop window, manipulated by hands when you weren’t looking, alluring and ever out of reach.

With what do you fill an empty life?

You don’t have to explain your dreams, they belong to you

I exist in two places.    here, and where you are.

Real love is always chaotic. You lose control; you lose perspective. You lose the ability to protect yourself. The greater the love, the greater the chaos. It’s a given and that’s the secret.

I hope our daughters are born with so much fire in their souls, they could put volcanoes and stars to shame.

Disaster is a language we all hear but do not speak.

The thing I’m most afraid of is me. Of not knowing what I’m going to do. Of not knowing what I’m doing right now.

That’s the worst part… the bad days. The days when you can’t hide it behind a smile and you feel like you’re bringing people down. The days when you have to ask for help and you feel like a burden…. Those are the days I’m running on empty.

Making love was never about you and me in a bed. We made love whenever we held hands.
