what’s in your head, what’s in your heart: the remix…

tell me how the mountains give you peace and the ocean makes you restless

tell me how
the mountains give you peace
and the ocean makes you restless,
about the poetry you read
and the song you fall asleep with…
i want to know the art, the words,
the songs that shift you,
and all those fears that make you bleed
and the dreams that break you open…
what’s in your heart
and what’s in your head…
this is what i want to know,
this is how my heart falls.

keep them high: your standards for love are going to make some people uncomfortable…

your standards for love are going to make some people uncomfortable

your standards for love
are going to make some people
uncomfortable, and they will try to make
you feel like your standards are too high,
but it’s only because those standards threaten
their comfort zones.

what you believe in either challenges
how they treat people,
or how they’ve accepted being treated.

keep them high.
