“Her heart was a gentle stroke of a paintbrush.”

When people are cruel, we can join them in their poison or find freedom in love.

There is nothing more extravagant than a generous heart.

I’m terrified to step into my worth, for it just may change my life.

A decision should be made because it aligns with your soul. Not culture.

The moon, our mother. The stars, her children.

I didn’t lose. I won a new beginning.

We will grieve and we will rise.

Be not attached to who you think you are. So you can believe all that you are meant to be.

Being kind doesn’t mean you are a pushover. Don’t let them convince you otherwise.

You don’t have to be someone else to be loved.

You are a child of the moon darling born from light.

It’s okay to not have it all figured out. If someone does have all the answers, that’s when I should be worried.

One person can change your life forever. By showing you genuine, unnecessary, kindness.

I’m no longer sorry for embracing my power.

The people we love live in the moon. Guiding us on our darkest nights.

Protect your heart and soul from the anxious lies of your thoughts. Stay in the light, stay in the truth.

When she holds me close to her chest – her heart speaks to me.

The autumn breeze carves out an ache in your memory.

Sworn enemies. Past lovers. What did either of our hearts do to deserve this. You were poetry to me.

Amnesty International adopted me as a prisoner of conscience, and that led to my – it touched me in a way that really led to me opening up my heart, I’ve called it the re-humanisation process.

God, I know you’ve been there. I know you’ve been there even if I didn’t feel you. I ask you open my heart up to you when I want to close it.

A long time ago I came to realize that no matter where I am no distance I could go can ever make my heart forget you’ve made a home inside my soul.

How disheartening and yet a kind of relief that you too turned out to be just like all the rest. How freeing it is to watch the sun rise and set without you.

I still hold hollow hopes for the day, my heart keeps it beat whenever I hear your name.
