“Does art make sense to you? You are so brave and quiet; I think you would understand.”

Of all the tragedies on this earth, there is none more tragic than a person who cannot see their worth.

One day you are ordering coffee every morning and the next you can’t even order coffee without thinking about ordering theirs too.

You spend your whole life convincing yourself you are a chapter worth following, and then someone comes along and doesn’t want to read the ending, and suddenly the whole story falls apart.

Some moments have to happen so they may shape you, teach you, undo you, and remake you.

Be kind to yourself, the way you would be to someone you love.

The aches in my arms still surprise me, even years after letting you go.

When you take a lover who uncovers all your flaws, listens to the very essence of who you are and embraces you rather than judges you, hold on to this love for a lifetime, as you will never find a love quite as pure.

I think if you let me, I’d build an observatory just to show you that all the stars in the universe will never shine as brightly as you.

Then I am reminded that life will continue on, regardless of whether I choose to board the train or stay on the platform.

By existing you are planting softness in soil that has turned hard. There is no need to surrender your existence. You are doing just fine by even existing at all.

I’ve been thinking about our forever, how memories fade but the light in our eyes stays.

I am no more the person that you left than you are the person I miss.

You achieve all your dreams by facing your fears. By experiencing the doubt and the disbelief and choosing to carry on anyway.

So I’ll stand here for you In the wind and the rain And I’ll be the lighthouse you need.

The tragedy of what could have been is nearly as crippling as what once was but can never be again.

I have been a little off balance since the day I met you. This is because I had never known what it is like to be perfectly aligned.
