She's not classically beautiful, but somehow that only makes her more interesting.

Africa - You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.

You couldn't have strength without weakness, you couldn't have light without dark, you couldn't have love without loss

What’s the difference between spending your life trying to be invisible, or pretending to be the person you think everyone wants you to be? Either way, you’re faking.

The way i see it, love is just a bigger, stickier form of trust.

Believe me, Being gay is not a choice. Noone would choose to make life harder than it has to be.
