DON’T MESS WITH MY CHAOS

I THRIVE ON CHAOS. I EAT CHAOS FOR BREAKFAST. IT'S ORGANIZED CHAOS, ALL RIGHT?

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I keep waiting for some great life purpose to rise up in front of me and declare itself, but I don’t seem to be wired for greatness.”
Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This

“Whisper me this, my darling, my love The song of the moonlight, of stars up above. Whisper me truth, love, and whisper me lies, Warm days of winter, cold summer skies. Whisper me anger, whisper me rain, Whisper me flowers, then whisper me pain. When I come to die, love, then whisper me this The shape of a memory, the truth of a kiss. Whisper me, whisper me, whisper”
Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This

“A familiar web of worry and indecision grounds me in my accustomed reality.”
Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
