Famous butterflies rising Quotes

“i’m restless and wild again and all i wanna do is get lost with you… i’m on edge in my skin and the stillness feels loud and slowing it all down isn’t going to calm this wildfire heart… i want to chase where it’s racing to and follow what it’s aching for, so take me somewhere beautiful and show me something breathtaking; let’s go somewhere with less gravity… break free with me. touch stars with me. lose time with me… because this restlessness is running wild again, but the peace always feels like you.”

“i think you have to chase it. that thing that tells you… keep. going. that there are wilder sunsets and more colors to know. that there are still answers for what's pulling at you. that the emptiness and heartbreak aren't where love will leave you because somewhere there is a lover who will kiss you like you have poetry and addiction on your lips and needs your touch and taste like mercy on their soul. and there are all those virgin, unfelt things in you, still untouched and tender and unfolding. so you have to keep searching. for all that soul stuff. until your intangible aches are in the flesh and that fire in you is spilling all around you… i think you have to keep going.”

“the spaces we’ve called love… it’s heartbreaking how many of us have felt in love with people who were not even kind to us… how many of us weren’t taught that love can’t exist in a space without kindness. or without respect. or in a space that doesn’t honor us and cherish us. so many of us are learning that the spaces we’ve called being in love, weren’t spaces of love at all”

“i take it all in so deeply. and maybe i feel it a little too raw. and a little too tender. and when i need to let it go, maybe my heart strangleholds it a little too tight. and for a little too long. but the way i feel it when i feel it… i touch. and i taste. and i feel. fire. and i shift in my existence and the stardust burns into my skin. so i try to be gentle with it… with all that wild wreckage that i barely recover from. because there's magic in it. and evolution in me from it. and because i love like an awakening and i know what it's like to trace a soul in my fingertips.”

“…some songs are just barely becoming safe again, and some songs maybe never will be. and i think that’s just how powerful music can be. it’s such an aesthetic in our existence. we feel so much from it, and because of it, and through it… and so it can break us completely open in heartbreak, but i wouldn’t trade that for how much it makes us feel alive and free and infinite, and in love, in all of the beautiful moments.”

“nothing feels as rich, as expensive, as being held by hands laced in respect, strong hands that can be soft hands and slow hands against your skin like flowers, like curiosity… and eyes that mean what they say when they say all those things that eyes say… like, it's safe here. and there's truth here. and there's depth in here. and full. attention. that undeniable, can't not. must have. ache for you, ache for this… nothing. but. this. kind of aching in you reaching for an aching me… those are the priceless things, give me your priceless things.”
