Just Quotable

A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.

Some nights you will feel like there are a thousand galaxies exploding in every inch of you, and you are burning too bright to ever be looked at directly. Some nights you will feel impossibly small, like your whole body could slip through the spaces between atoms and never reappear in this world again. Some nights you will feel like a paper doll, carefully crafted, and easily blown away. Fragile, too delicate to ever be touched. Some nights you will feel like each cell in your body is made of the strength that holds the whole planet together, and that is okay, because you are made of stardust, and minuscule atoms, and breakable bones, and the building blocks of everything in the universe, and you are too alive to never feel anything more than human.

she was fierce, she was strong, she wasn't simple. she was crazy and sometimes she barely slept. she always had something to say. she had flaws and that was OK. and when she was down she got right back up. she was a beast in her own way, but one idea described her best. she was unstoppable and she took anything she wanted with a smile.

What I want most, is to know what you hear in the silence between us.

Stop looking for the light. Become it.

I have dreams where our souls dance with your silhouettes and the only light that exists is the reflection of the moon across the sea. I have dreams where it is just you and me  and we are infinite and we are careless and we are brave as the waves crash like burning ashes  against our tired feet.

be gentle.                             fill yourself up with love instead of hate.                              fill yourself up with art,                                                             books,                                                          knowledge,                                                               experiences.                                            surround yourself with people who have nothing but love to give.                                     these things, they are important.                                                        they will help you learn how to love.

Breathe deeply, until sweet air extinguishes the burn of fear in your lungs and every breath is a beautiful refusal to become anything less than infinite.

Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, or 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery.

peace of mind and heart                                              arrives                                when we accept what is:                                          having been                                         born into this                                             strange life                                          we must accept                              the wasted gamble of our days                               and take some satisfaction in                                            the pleasure of                                       leaving it all behind.                                                                            cry not for me.                                                                               grieve not for me.                                                                                                           read                                            what I've written                                                      then                                                     forget                                                        it                                                       all                                         Drink from the well                                                 of your self                                                  and begin                                                     again.

We are the scientists, trying to make sense of the stars inside us.
