make me happy

“No matter how good you are with words, it's inevitable that meaning is lost between your mind and someone else's. Trying to communicate is like throwing a cup of water at a thirsty person's face. It's better than nothing, sure, and a teaspoon of water might hit their lips, but oh, God, there's just so much water in the grass.”

One of the most painful realizations in adult relationships is discovering you were never relaxing into love. You were auditioning for it.

Grief is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go

Healing rarely begins dramatically. Sometimes it begins the day you stop over-explaining your hurt to people who repeatedly hurt you.

“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.”

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

A person raised in love and another raised in survival, will never see the world the same way.
