“It must be obvious, from the start, that there is a contradiction in wanting to be perfectly secure in a universe whose very nature is momentariness and fluidity. But the contradiction lies a little deeper than the mere conflict between the desire for security and the fact of change. If I want to be secure, that is, protected from the flux of life, I am wanting to be separate from life. Yet it is this very sense of separateness which makes me feel insecure”
― Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

“I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much.”

“Forgive yourself for the decisions you have made, the ones you still call mistakes when you tuck them in at night”

“I remember the way love
used to glow on my skin
before he made his way in
now every touch feels like a sin”
