Lilac & Birch

“Love should make you feel sure. Love should make you feel safe and secure. Love should be enchanting and make you believe in magic and its beautiful radiance.”

No matter how quiet your whisper,

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

“Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is the destruction of all that is false and the fulfillment of all that is true.”

Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.

Love her, but leave her wild.

So here’s my question: when you lose the most important person to you in the entire world, where is all the love – love you never even knew you were capable of – supposed to go?

If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. If you want to become full, let yourself be empty. If you want to be reborn, let yourself die. If you want to be given everything, give everything up.
