“I love summer and sunny days but there’s a certain magic in rain. There’s a promise of new beginnings and growth that comes with rain.”

You made me feel like I’m too little and too much all at once.

I was so used to people leaving me, I never considered the possibility you could stay.

I wonder if you were the poison or the antidote.

Trust me, I’ve tried. It is impossible to forget a soul that once kissed your heart.

Please stay, I’d like to waste a little more time on you.

Don’t worry. You didn’t break me. I was already broken when we met.

The difference between yesterday and today is, today I know I don’t need you to survive.

He was my armor and I was his sword.

I smile – even on my darkest days for you once said it melts your heart.

You ask what I’ve been doing all this time as if surviving wasn’t much of an effort.

There are many reasons why we don’t tell people the truth. Maybe we’re not brave enough. Maybe we’re afraid to lose someone by telling the truth. Maybe all we want for the person we love is to be happy – with or without us.

I was tired of begging people to stay when they wanted to leave.

He didn’t like drama and I was fucking Shakespeare.

Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.

I love her and that’s the beginning and end of everything.

No matter who you are or what your life has been like so far, the rest of your life’s journey can be different. With God’s help you can begin again.

By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

I stepped into love with grace. I stepped out of love with grace. The beginning was beautiful. The ending was beautiful.

Be pleasant until ten o’clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

Don’t prepare. Begin. Our enemy is not lack of preparation. The enemy is resistance, our chattering brain producing excuses. Start before you are ready.

I began working with a family camera. It was called a Kodak Autographic, which was one of those things where you flopped it open and pulled out the bellows. And I’ve been at it ever since – I’ve never stopped.
