“Disappointment is the end of an illusion.”
Sir Kristian Goldmund Aumann, From Poet's Hand

Roman Payne
“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”
Roman Payne

André Aciman
“We had the stars, you and I. And this is given once only.”
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“But nothing makes a room feel emptier than wanting someone in it.”
Calla Quinn, All the Time

Shannon L. Alder

Choose to forgive others.
Choose to see your value.
