“I want to really listen to people. Like really, truly listen, and hear people when they speak. They chose me to share that feeling or that thought with, I want to appreciate that. I want the people in my life to be heard.”

new love needs fresh air…
you want to love again… but first,
you have to put to rest the unrest that you
felt with the hands you held before.
you gave that half-love your full attention for
so long, and now your heart needs to take
some space to breathe… new love needs fresh air.

Read More →the true experience of love…
love… it isn’t found in
rings and dresses for me, and not in
shared property, or contracts…
that’s just some presentation of material things
for me, love is what you feel in your heart
when no one is looking,
an honor and an integrity that you’re naturally
drawn to in your actions,
an effortlessness, a passionate desire to
treat someone so beautifully,
an energy between you that connects you
to an infinite and magical truth…
i’ve never wanted the presentation of love,
i want the true experience of it

Read More →the best of you…
it isn’t always about judgment
when someone else can’t accept how you are,
sometimes it’s about their self-love
sometimes how you are choosing to be
is harmful to others, and it’s nobody else’s
responsibility to just accept that,
it’s your responsibility to grow, and
to treat people better
love isn’t about demanding that
someone else takes the worst of you,
it’s about wanting to give someone
the best of you

Read More →because you are…
People who are harmful in
relationships don’t
stay where there is love,
they stay where people put up
with not being loved.
And they don’t leave your life
because you’re not worthy of love…
they are removed from your life
because you are, and they are not
capable of giving it.

Read More →freedom of spirituality…
Freedom of religion
honors your freedom to your religion,
but it also honors…
the freedom from your religion,
the freedom to practice other religions,
the freedom of spirituality that isn’t
found through or bound by religion,
and the freedom from any religion at all.
It’s the freedom to believe what
resonates as truth for you and brings
peace to your soul.
