Famous butterflies rising Quotes

“something like wings… through all the layers of dark and unsure that wild in your heart and those flowers in your chest and the fire in your blood and that feeling that you’re going to break. free. some. how. have stirred within you in spite of everything that has tried to weigh heavy on your soul. there’s always been an ache in your back that has felt something like wings… something inside of you has always been trying to carry you.”

“she wanders out in the flowers, in the wild, where the breathing is easy and free… because it's where the judgment goes quiet… and everything beautiful is so untouched. it's just beautiful. and wild. and fearless. and whether it grows into something more or burns down and has to start again, it just does… fearlessly. beautifully. and wild. so she wanders out where she can learn to see herself that way; to see herself in the way that she looks at flowers… like she's a beautiful wildness on fire.”

“could you love her, still… when she's not only soft in your arms but when she's wild with the moon and restless… and maybe just a little out of reach from your fingertips. could you love her, still, when she's not only sweet and resting easy on your chest, but when she's wild blossomed in the night and searching for more inside of herself than who you may think she is. could you love her not just when she's flowers but when she's fire. she has to know… if she lets you close… when she blooms wild and burns bright… could you love her, still.”

“there are others like us out there… aching dreamers like you and me, who've been told it's too much… we've been wrecked in our spirit. but what if we could still believe in things. beautiful things, untouchable things; even the ones they told us not to. what if we just chase them anyways. i think we could touch them… because i've got all this wildflower energy, and i see your wildfires when you look at me, and i love that way you smile like wild defiance… i wanna bottle it up and use it to fight off all my fears. so let's leave doubt where it came from, and let's run free under starlight, and let's believe. so. much. that we just can't be told different. and then maybe… we could show the others that there is still so much for them to believe in too.”

“there are things he holds close, in the awake, in the lucid, things he feels, but he fears how they might fall out so helpless, so unarmed, so defenseless… and god, how those walls can make me question. but then he dreams with an open chest, and he tells me of what he’s sure of, and that i can let my head rest, ‘cause this isn’t a small love, and that most times it feels like too much love, and so sometimes… he’s just afraid. so my fears… they just fall quiet with the way he speaks to me in his sleep. he may have a hardened chest in the wake light, but there are flowers in the moonlight, and when his fears fall quiet… there are all these things he feels when his defenses are down.”

“love languages… blood + fire… the wild. the passionate. the visceral things that burn in your veins, that bite at your senses, that give you a pulse sugar + flowers… the sweet. the soft. the vulnerable things that tender the walls and break your heart open love + soul… the deep. the true. the heart. the lungs. the breathing. the wings. the free… the things you ache for… and the ones that ache back magic + stars… the infinite. the destined. the things you feel beyond words, beyond bodies, beyond… before… after… always.”

“beautiful stardust… when you love wildly, your heart can break so. intensely. and passionate pain is brutal pain… but it's powerful pain too. it stirs us in our soul places. and even when it feels like it burns right through us and tears us apart, it can be a catalyst if we let it. we can pour it into things like music and art and poetry… or turn it into growth and change and inspiration and all these other beautiful things that we can become and can spill out into the world. so keep loving deep… and keep your heart wilder than wild… and breathe it all out as beautiful stardust.”
