Images inside my head

“There will always be a person who looks like a poem the earth wrote to keep you alive.”

“Well, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.”

“October, the extravagant sister, has ordered an immense amount of the most gorgeous forest taperstry for her grand reception.”

Let’s admit, without apology, what we do to each other.

“I want to tear up the earth until I find you,”

“September approaching…I feel I owe myself a brief respite of leisure and no rushing around. I can’t face the dead reality. I want rainy days, lanterns and a hundred moons twining in dark leaves, music spilling out and echoing yet inside my head.”

“Even your sweetness is a storm,”

The words you speak become the house you live in.

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.

“I truly believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”

“Behind every strong person lies a broken child who had to learn to stand up and take no shit.”
