“We humans
are so tortured
by not properly guessing
what will make us happy.”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life—and travel—leaves marks on you.”
― Anthony Bourdain

“I would rather
have a body full of scars
and a head full of memories
than a life
of regrets
and perfect skin.”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“Obsession is not love,
infatuation is not love,
when someone ignores you
or treats you poorly, carelessly,
or with indifference
that’s not love—
that’s a lack of love,
for yourself, for trying to fill
your missing pieces with theirs
but when someone is whole
and you are whole
and you act in kindness and benevolence, vulnerability
through strength,
love becomes an exchange
with another person—
and that is
its truest form”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild
