Teshuva (תְּשׁוּבָה)

“I’m a very private person. You don’t ask, I don’t tell.”

I’m a very private person. You don’t ask, I don’t tell.

When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you.

i hope the sky will constantly remind you of me.

It was a privilege to love you, and it was a privilege to let you go. Both helped shape me into the person I have become.

You touch me like I am everything you asked god for. Underneath your hands I become poetry. This is the alchemy that you do.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It’s the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
