“Let me leave you with this:

your life is short and

all the more precious for it.

I do not seek

to tell you how to live, only to live at all.

to not fear the day.

to know you are stronger

than what has hurt you.

to know that you

will triumph.”
― Trista Mateer, Aphrodite Made Me Do It

“who said you can't wear a flower crown & still remain a fearsome thing? --make persephone proud.”
― Amanda Lovelace, Flower Crowns & Fearsome Things

“I promise to warn you of sadness, Molly said.
To keep you from
finding comfort in its arms. And though I can’t ward off all evil
things, I can tell you when they are near and I can help you fight
them. I promise to be there when you need someone whether you
know it or not. I promise to sustain this feeling we feel now forever.
I promise you will never be alone. Since that day at the grocery
store, neither of us will ever truly be alone. I will not promise to
love you because that is something I just do. I love you.
Wayne cleared his throat.
“I
I promise to protect you, Wayne said.
I promise to respect you. I
promise to celebrate you. But I do not say until death do us partbecause I expect we’ll meet thereafter. And I do not promise to love
you…because that is something I just do. I love you.”
