Trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters, but it's a lot harder than it looks because even though they had the same size feet as us, they weren't looking down the whole time while they walked to make sure they were doing it right

I hope someday you see this is all life wants: for you to be your own kind of beautiful & not the kind that makes you forget who you are.

I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts, but they needed constant attention and one day I decided I had better things to do.

We lay there and looked up at the night sky and she told me about stars called blue squares and red swirls and I told her I'd never heard of them. Of course not, she said, the really important stuff they never tell you. You have to imagine it on your own.

There are days I drop words of comfort on myself like falling leaves and remember that it is enough to be taken care of by myself.

I've always like the time before dawn because there's no one around to remind me who I'm supposed to be, so it's easier to remember who I am.

You're the strangest person I ever met, she said & I said you too & we decided we'd know each other a long time.
