“The warmth is spring is near. It smells of hope and cheer. The budding bulbs of daffodils will end the endless fear.”

You are a question that I’ll never know the answer to.

We are gardens. We flourish and grow. Despite the rain, despite the snow.

I’ve learned the difference between being a good person and being a popular.

The hardest goodbyes are the ones you never got to say.

My dearest contradiction. You are soft and obliterating, like the moon’s glare upon a sinner.

I’d prefer to wield a rose than to wield the gun.

We parted sadly, like children in the street on a pleasant june afternoon.

I ache and long and feel in a language older than ours; one without words or phrases, consisting only of melancholy.

Every word I write is crude and weak when it comes to conveying you how much I appreciate you.

We are all marks of condensation on polished glass; steadily fading away.

The only person you’ll spend your entire life with is yourself. You should be your first focus.

Branches bow, longing to reach the crisp, punctured leaves, their old shedded skin.

People are good. No matter what. Beneath the rage and fear lies a wounded heart. We must do what we can do to heal it.

Make the choice; to be comfortable or to be alive.

The flowers burn the grass, a thousand splendid suns; and life returns to everything as hope refills my lungs.

You’re an ocean that I can’t navigate. If storms wrack your surface, I dread to think what horrors lie in your depths.

It’s a divine art to be cheerful.

Fill the bowl with rosy wine, around our temples roses twine, And let us cheerfully awhile, like wine and roses, smile.

I confess I love littleness almost in all things. A little convenient estate, a little cheerful house, a little company, and a little feast.

Be cheerful, if you are wise.

The game of life looks cheerful when one carries a treasure safe in his heart.

The cheerful loser is a sort of winner.

The cheerful live longest in years, and afterwards in our regards. Cheerfulness is the off-shoot of goodness.

Difficulties, by bracing the mind to overcome them, assist cheerfulness, as exercise assists digestion.
