“That thing that calls your name, chase it.
That thing that rattles your bones, do it until your courage drowns out the fear.
When your soul growls, feed it.”

“Sometimes you need to step off the worn path, lay down with your eyes up to the blue sky, interlock your fingers behind your head and let the grace grow up around you.”

“One day,
someone so close to you
will see you crack under pressure.
They'll watch you fall to pieces
on the floor
and come and sit
so close next to you
They won't pick up your pieces
They'll leave them as they are
and make you feel loved
and felt and seen,
in your puddle of mud
and mess, regardless.
They'll make you feel like
you don't have to clean anything up,
like you don't have to hide
any of these pieces away again
Because you don't
Because it's those same pieces
that make you so damn lovable.”

“You will never regret
The times you stopped to listen to a loved one,
or put down your phone to be present,
or paused to notice something beautiful,
or made an effort to be kind.
This is the good stuff.
Don't miss it.”

“Every heart has its graveyard. Names we never speak, buried beneath all that we had to do to survive. I've laid flowers at the feet of loves I outgrew, but still visit in dreams. I've lit candles for the ones who left and never came back. Not every goodbye deserves a monument, but I still remember them. How could I forget when their ghosts still haunt me? Some things just end and some people don't come back. And some nights I still whisper into the dark, 'if I could, I'd love you better next time.”
