“One day, whether you
are 14,
28
or 65
you will stumble upon
someone who will start
a fire in you that cannot die.
However, the saddest,
most awful truth
you will ever come to find--
is they are not always
with whom we spend our lives.

The advice I’ve always been given is to see the world for all it has to offer before I settle down, though I never understood it. I cannot imagine seeing foreign places and cities without you in them, I want to be adventurers together, create one story to tell our children, I want to cover the entirety of the earth in two pairs of footsteps.

Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest—thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the under wood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.

The one thing I know for sure
is that feelings are rarely mutual, so
when they are, drop everything, forget belongings and
expectations, forget the games, the two days between texts, the
hard to gets because this is it, this is what the entire world
is after and you’ve stumbled upon it by chance, by
accident––so take a deep breath, take a step
forward, now run, collide like planets in the system of a dying
sun, embrace each other with both arms and let all the rules,
the opinions and common sense crash down around you. Because
this is love kid, and it’s all
yours.
Do not be frightened
of the sad, dark spots
in your life; if it never
rained, nothing would
ever grow.
It’s incredible how alone one person’s absence can make you feel. I could be in a room surrounded by all my friends and family, but without you I might as well be standing on the surface of the moon.
