“She plants love, and she grows roses. The fragrance of romance comes from the blossom that blooms in the heart.”
― Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not for Sale

“I am thankful
for the sunrise
and every sunset
for the safety nets
that catch my falls from grace

for the family
friends
and gentle eyed strangers
that pick me up and
place me at elevations
I have never deserved

but mostly just for you
and the soft smiles you bring
when I cannot find them
on my own.”
― Tyler Kent White

“I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake
however you choose to see it
and I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run.
run run run
far and wide
until my bones ache and lungs split
and it feels good.
Hear that people? It feels good
because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
and I wish to do with it exactly as I please”
― Charlotte Eriksson, You're Doing Just Fine

“My body's been touched a thousand or more times but I am craving something so much deeper than that ~ I desire to be felt, right down to the core of my soul and the corners of my heart. That's what love is about isn't it ~ cracking yourself open to the possibility that it could change your life.”
