Sharing the same family tree doesn't often make people stay. Find family in the ones who make you laugh uncontrollably. Find family in the ones who take your side but also talk you through your wrongdoings. Find family in the ones who would hop on a plane & fly across countries the moment you needed them. Find family in the ones who rejoice in you, especially when you're unsure of yourself. Find the ones who will face the fire with you. They're your real family.

Hold tightly to the ones Who not only know you But take the time & energy To understand the intricacies Of your magic.

There was a forest beyond the rolling hills, and in the winter it was burned to the ground. It was damaged so badly nothing was left, not even a sound. But from the ashes, new trees began to grow, and the river began to run, and the flowers sprouted in new rows. The forest reminds me of you, how you took back what was yours. And reminded the world you survived all these horrible wars.

We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.

I was a bad gay until I wasn't.

Guys! You have to smell my meds!

Friend: Hey! I finally figured it out! New Year means new baby!
