Hungry for the HUNGER. a business of YES!

“My point is, it takes a special person to cry over a book. It shows compassion as well as imagination…Don’t ever lose that”

Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful its ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing; hold on through the awful; and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul healing, amazing, ordinary, awful life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.

Today I missed you and it didn’t hurt to miss you like the earth longs for the rain when summer begins to fade, and it needs the drops to soothe the feeling of transition. Today I missed you and I was happy for the space you left how it was empty, null but not at all broken when autumn suddenly comes to take the leaves to the ground so that the trees can remember their roots. Today I missed you and I was there at the supermarket sniffing the flowers that reminded me of how beautiful a struggle winter is because what comes after that was the day I first kissed your smile that’s as annihilating as your giggle. Today I missed you and that’s all these words can express because you were searching for something while I was searching for something else and we both had to let go for our truths and honestly, I hope you find what makes you spring.

This is my body How dare you tell me which parts to shrink and which parts to keep How dare you lick your lips as you stare at my tits and look away at the stretch marks on my hips You can’t pick and choose Take me whole or not at all “

Do what you love with focus and discipline, and trust yourself along the way. The most impactful work is the tip of the iceberg of years compounding knowledge and skill, which can come most notably from failure. People rarely leave a meaningful mark with the first stoke they make.

I wish to live a life that causes my soul to dance inside my body.
