“Love
is a strange magic,
where death
can only make it stronger
while the softest kiss
in the wrong direction,
can steal it away forever”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“I promise to live a life so rich of love that at the end I will not be so shy of death.”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“Obsession is not love,
infatuation is not love,
when someone ignores you
or treats you poorly, carelessly,
or with indifference
that’s not love—
that’s a lack of love,
for yourself, for trying to fill
your missing pieces with theirs
but when someone is whole
and you are whole
and you act in kindness and benevolence, vulnerability
through strength,
love becomes an exchange
with another person—
and that is
its truest form”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“The distance doesn’t matter. Just think about your next step.”
― Mark T. Sullivan, Beneath a Scarlet Sky
