Wishful thinking

"..just for tonight
let me pretend
we are so much more
& tangled bed sheets are possible
& holding hands won't knot you
& we could steal a little time from the hour glass
& teach fate a few lessons
& give everyone the middle finger on our way out."

Be Inspired

“Love someone because their soul inspires you, not because you’re interested in the relief from loneliness and companionship they can provide.

 Anybody can do that. Not just anybody can show you to yourself.”

" If she only wants you, don't worry about who wants her."

What is Real Love?

“Love is soul work. Love can be met and joined with attraction and infatuation and all of that, but love will not fade when those things do. 

You can choose to close your heart to love, and run away, and avoid it for as long as you can in every way you can think of but if it was really, truly, the other-worldly, almost supernatural kind of love that we can only hope to be graced with at least once in this life experience, 

it will not leave you. 

You can love many people, but at the end of the day, the love you need to choose is the love that, even if you close your heart to, still moves you. 

The love you still write about. 

The love you can’t face. 

The love you’re still not okay with losing, that you’re angry about; the love that uprooted your life and contorted your being. 

The love you ran away from because it showed you who you are without the guise of worth given from someone else. 

This is love because these are all signs that you are closing your heart and to be doing so, there has to be something going through you for you to be able to close off. 

Real love will be the love you realize that remains even after you close your heart to it, because it sustains itself. It drives you forward. It brings up all the unhealed parts of you that you have to reconcile.”

"Be focus in life and get what you feel you deserve. You deserve to have a fulfilling career and if you cannot match that with a man who deserves you, then you shouldn't try to, it will come."

I knew I loved you when I started making excuses for the way you hurt me.

You ruin your life by tolerating it

"You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire, you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it.

Do not let this happen to you. 

Do not ruin your life this way. 

Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. 

They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life."
