when he smiles it's as if you'd just told him the first joke on earth.

But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.

my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" from the book of Isaiah

I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.

At that moment i felt lonelier than i'd ever felt before, and that loneliness seemed to squat in my lungs and crush all but my most minimal breathing. There was nothing left to say. Not about this. Not about anything.

But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.

I like myself better when I'm with you.
