“Respect should be found in your own heart and never demanded, sacraficed, begged for or negotiated. If you have to explain why you deserve it then you never had it.”

“I don’t exist
metal pressed to pages
spilling blood, ink
in vein each thought rages
Sunlight shooting
through a forest of pines
black top winding
and yellow dotted lines
I am not here
only a deep aching,
a lightning flash
and a tree trunk breaking
Sheets once alive
covered in a deep red
mark the present
but I am not yet dead
Nothing is here
only the rain and mist
fresh air and soil
I do not need to exist.”

“What kind of dark, twisted mind preys on young women? I think it was Poe that said the death of a beautiful woman is the most poetical thing in the universe, and if that was true… I was John Milton.”

“Let today mark a new beginning for you. Give yourself permission to say NO without feeling guilty, mean, or selfish. Anybody who gets upset and/or expects you to say YES all of the time clearly doesn’t have your best interest at heart. Always remember: You have a right to say NO without having to explain yourself. Be at peace with your decisions.”
