- You can only hold the world on your shoulders for so long until it crushes you. Fly my love amongst the stars, be free my nebula.
- I have grown, I look back on my past and feel sick at the person I was. Though despite that I smile now cause I have grown and learned from my past. My past has made me the person I am today.

- a lot of my life has been realizing that i would cross oceans for people who wouldn't jump puddles for me
- "I babysat this six year old, and I was wearing shorts today.. and my scars were showing, I guess. He poked them and he said, "I know how those got there." I replied, "How?" He looked at me with a straight face and he said, 'I've seen them before. My big sister had them, and she said mean people put them on your body when they weren't nice to you, because when people are mean to you, you end up being mean to yourself. My big sister went away. I don't know where she went. Mommy said she's on a happy vacation somewhere, because she was too sad here. I miss her. Don't go on a vacation, please.'"
- Maybe this is what the Mayans predicted. Not an asteroid, or a solar flare, but the end of what we are. We no longer cherish life, or other people, animals, or the earth an all the resources put on it. War, genocide, abuse, senseless mass murder, animal cruelty, gluttony, greed; it's all a waste. Look around you, the end of the world is already here.
- Her hair was up in a ponytail, Her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees. A dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in the back, for everyone to meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats. One by one the teacher called, a student from the class. To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed. At last the teacher called her name, every child turned to stare. Each of them was searching, for a many who wasn't there. "Where's her daddy at?" she heard a boy call out.. "She probably doesn't have one," another dared to shout. And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say, "Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day." The words did not offend her, as she smiled up at her mom. And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on. And with hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak. And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique. "My daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far away. But I know he wishes he could be, since this was such a special day." "And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know. All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so." "He loved to tell me stories. He taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with read roses, and taught me to fly a kite." "We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him, I'm not standing here alone." "'Cause my daddy's always with me, even though we are apart. I know because he told me, he'll forever be in my heart." With thatm her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest. Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress. And from somewhere in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears. Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years. For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life. Doing what was best for her, doing what was right. And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd. She finished with a voice so softm but its message clear and loud. "I love my daddy very much. He's my shining star. And if he could, he'd be here. But, heaven's just too far." "You see he was a fireman and died just this past year. When airplanes hit the towers, and taught Americans to fear." "But, sometimes when I close my eyes, it's like he never went away." And then she closed her eyes, and saw him there that day. And to her mother's amazement, she witnessed with surprise. A room full of daddies and children, All starting to close their eyes. Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what the felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side. "I know you're with me Daddy," To the silence she called out. And what happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt. Not one in that room could explain it, For each of their eyes had been closed. But there on the desk beside her, was a fragrant, long-stemmed pink rose. And a child was blessed, if only for a moment. By the love of her shining bright star. And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far.
