“he started to come closer, and i said… don’t. just stay. me here. you there. he said… so you don’t want to know me. i said… no, i do. let me know you. me here. you there. not because i don’t want to know you, but, so i can know you as you are. so beautifully untouched by anything you think you need to make yourself to be for me. please. just be. let me love you as you are.”

“you take all of my walls down with this fever-driven dream and we've got messy hearts with your skin against mine, but as much as fear has my head gripped and you at arm's length, we. still. intertwine. you're a soul instinct. and this feeling is a heart imprint. and when you're this close to me there's this way your heartbeat promises to take care of my own… so maybe it's safe to just give in to slow kisses on wild skin.”

“you can't actually dim someone else's brightness. it's part of them. it's part of who they are. and no matter what you do, it's not in your power to take it. even if you try to create tarnish around them, nothing you do can ever make them less bright or beautiful or creative or magnetic or less of any other thing that they hold within them. trying to tear others down will only ever make you feel less beautiful than you are. no amount of trying to put out someone else's light is ever going to heal the darkness you feel. and the truth is, that fight you feel against their glow is just your soul aching for you to fight for your own. so step back and take your focus off of them. take a breath in. stop trying to put out someone else's fire… start looking inside and light up your own.”

“what makes you feel… what makes you. feel. alive. how is your breath stolen. how. and when. does this life give you arrhythmia. what pulls at you so much that it hurts not to chase it. the dreams out there, the hopes in here. the art, the words, the songs… what shifts you. that somewhere beautiful in this world that calls to you in the early light. those aching things that keep you up so restless after midnight. what takes you higher than this world, what takes you deeper into your soul light… all of those things… i want to know. those. things… show me all of your soul things”

“it's so delicate here. but it's where i'm the most brutal. it's where my raging gets careless, and the delicate things end up crushed. i fight my hardest fights trying to love the deepest love, but i've never been more unkind than i've been in these close quarters …in this head, and to this heart. and when others have been unkind, how quick i've been to betray myself and just agree. and i've let it all hurt so much that unworthy has felt like the only feeling i may ever again know… like a flower whose every last petal has been torn away and thrown to the wind with nothing left to recognize as beautiful. just wilted. and bare with pain. but what if it hurts this way for a reason… because that ache in me is the fight in me to learn to feel different. because somewhere deep inside i know that i want to be delicate here… desperately. and when they're unkind, and when i'm unkind, somewhere deep down, i know that i fiercely. disagree. and there's a wild blossom in me and it's too beautiful to ever just be torn away and thrown to the wind. and there's a tenderness that i'm made of and an intimacy that i'm part of… one that i'm going to learn to take such delicate care of.”
