“When I write to you, I expect you to read that—my letters, and my songs, and the poems. But I know you’re not reading, so I hold nothing back. Between sleepless, lonely, and scary nights and sometimes even between the happiest nights. I open your mailbox and write some dumb love letters to the guy I found on the internet and fell in love with. — Arya Kashyap”

“Even though it has always been one-sided, sometimes it’s fun to just have someone to shower your feelings on. Someone who becomes the highlight of your day. They make you feel happy and silly. It’s hard. It’s very hard to let go of a big, stinking, painful, all-consuming crush. — Arya Kashyap”

““How do you tune an instrument? You take a guitar or a violin— or any stringed instrument—for example. You have to tighten the strings, plucking and strumming until the right music comes through. Some strings are more stubborn than others and take a bit longer, but every one needs tuning. More often the more you use them. “Isn’t that like our own hearts? “We get tired, we get weary, we get out of tune with God’s music. The praise we attempt to sing, the speaking of His grace… it falls flat, like an old, weary guitar string. That’s why we have to do our best to let Christ tune our hearts daily—with tension, with gentle rebukes and loving comforts, strumming and tightening until a pure note sings from our soul. “And then we can honestly sing of His grace once again.””
