this is my love song

“May you always do what you’re afraid to do.”

“The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.”

“The path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths.”

“Travel and tell no one. Live a true love story and tell no one. Live happily and tell no one. People ruin beautiful things.”

“I am not to speak to you—I am to think of you when I sit alone, or wake at night alone, I am to wait—I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.”

“All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name.”

“The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet.”

“Love her, but leave her wild.”

“The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.”

I live as I choose or I will not live at all.

may I never lose that terror that keeps me brave

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
