“Often, when we have a crush, when we lust for a person, we see only a small percentage of who they really are. The rest we make up for ourselves. Rather than listen, or learn, we smother them in who we imagine them to be, what we desire for ourselves, we create little fantasies of people and let them grow in our hearts. And this is where the relationship fails. In time, the fiction we scribble onto a person falls away, the lies we tell ourselves unravel and soon the person standing in front of you is almost unrecognisable, you are now complete strangers in your own love. And what a terrible shame it is. My advice: pay attention to the small details of people, you will learn that the universe is far more spectacular an author than we could ever hope to be.”

“The future of wildlife and the habitat that they depend on is in being destroyed.
It is time to make nature and all the beauty living within it our priority.”

“Human beings
are made of water–-

we were not designed
to hold ourselves together

rather run freely
like oceans
like rivers”

“The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those have not viewed the world.”
