That was all part of giving someone a piece of your heart; they ended up taking a whole chunk of your mind and reserving it all for themselves.

Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.

Close your eyes and stare into the dark.

Nobody can pretend to know what people want to read or hear or see. People rarely know it themselves; they only know it after the fact.

As the rain falls and the sun shines, they grow, grow, grow; minds so open, they go through life aware and accepting, seeing light where there's dark, seeing possibility in dead ends, tasting victory as others spit out failure, questioning where others accept. Just a little less jaded, a little less cynical.

Time is more precious than gold, more precious than diamonds, more precious than oil or any valuable treasures. It is time that we do not have enough of; it is time that causes the war within our hearts, and so we must spend it wisely.

You can run and run as fast and as far as you like, but the truth is, wherever you run, there you are.
