Quote by Michael A Dalton

“Never fear what cannot kill U. Never praise what cannot heal u. Never worship men who die. Never crawl when born to fly. Never heed advice from fools. Never build with broken tools. Never laugh when friends are hurt. Never hide and then throw dirt. Never doubt that GOD is real. And, never be afriad to feel.”

“she's a wildflower on fire with all that sweet soul sugar and an ache inside to unfold and to grow into so much more, all that destiny written in her eyes, she’s wild butterflies, and she feels her heart pulled under the wild of the moon to face her fears and to find her way through all of the dark and the heavy that she's carried for so long… there's fight here, but there's surrender here too. and there could be so much freedom here if she could just let herself fall into that beautiful chaos and dig deep into that passion in her bones… she could uncover all the beautiful things that those wildfires inside of her hold.”

“when i get close, and when i let walls fall… i become a wild mess. and i get fully disarmed. i just wildflower open… soft. vulnerable. and i become such an easy mark for the way that forever is such a pretty word off the corner of your smile… and god, how it feels like the sweetest. thing. and i swear it… that stars shine brighter, and skin feels even softer, and songs sink in a little deeper, and the words are the sweetest. sugar. and they mean ten times, a hundred times, all the times more… and i feel it all like lightning and soul-imprint in my marrow. and it's beautiful. and it's terrifying. because my safe space… is in the wild open, where there's growing space and soul-searching space, and where my fire is bright and my wings are wide and my breathing is all its own and i can always feel the way my heart beats on its own… with me over here. and you over there. and i don't know if my heart will ever settle it… the way everything is more beautiful when i'm in love, but i feel so much stronger when i'm not.”

“i didn’t know it for most of my growing up… but my mama had dreams. dreams that weren’t of ring shapes and dress colors. she had dreams that were drenched in art and tasted like adventure… ones that felt like being kissed until her heart burst… ones that opened up her whole soul like a wildflower on fire. but i didn’t know it. i didn’t know it because she tucked them away in pretty memory boxes and hid them in tattered journals that she pushed aside for perfectly-scripted scrapbooks, and she buried all her burning desires under yes ma’ams and sunday dresses and sweet, supportive smiles, while any part of her that ever maybe might could’ve known that she mattered… by herself, for herself, and belonging. to. herself. suffocated quietly under the white noise of all those voices that had told her that all that really mattered was that she had been chosen… by him. and when i started to see that inside of her was a whole other woman that she ached to be… i knew i couldn’t go through my life aching for the me i’d never be, in that same way. so all i’ve ever wanted… is to know that i matter. by myself. for myself. and belonging to myself. chosen by no one, but me.”
