I want to transform others.
When I go,
I hope what people miss about me is my love.
By the time I go,
I hope they don’t need it anymore.
I think reckless curiosity is what the world needs.

It’s not that we’re scared. It’s just that it’s delicate.

A real conversation that I will one day write into the dialogue of a story.
“He’s precious,
and I love him.
Everything he said on the phone was precious,
and he loves me
but,
I don’t need him that way.
And I refuse to let myself believe that I do,
because it’s simply not true.
I am young and pretty and strong and I can do so many things. Too many things to waste time feeling things that aren’t worth feeling.
I’m not saying I’ll never kiss him again, but I’ll do it knowing why he’s kissing me.
I get it.
I do.
But I love you
and you’re precious
and you love me
and that’s way more worth feeling.”
No matter what terror or loveliness the earth could produce - winds, seas - a person could produce the same, lived with the same, lived with all that mixed-up nature swirling inside, every bit. There was nothing as complex in the world - no flower or stone - as a single hello from a human being.

Hit Radio
Blows. I was shocked over the last days of my vacation to see what whiny music the majority of people are listening to.
Just because it’s Winter doesn’t mean you need to be depressed, desperate, and full of self-pity. Stop perpetuating the victim attitude. You’re capable of more.
My Hit Radio Fight Back Playlist:
Unstoppable-Santagold (or THIS version with Drake and Weezy)
It’s a new year, you don’t need anyone else. You have the ability to be everything you want to be.
New Years Resolution #2
Keep only what you need.
Shed everything else.
It’s not worth carrying.
And you don’t need much.
New Years Resolution #1
Be with the people you want to be with, when you want to be with them.
And be with them when you are.
For the first time
I have something physical
keeping be grounded
in one place
for one piece
of home
If you don’t write it down
If you don’t document your insides for all your life
How will you ever remember how feeling how you felt
and being your being got you to better self
how can you tell someone else?
