“Sometimes You Have To Do What’s Best For You, Not What’s Best For Somebody Else.”

Jimmy Santiago Baca, from “I Am Offering This Poem”

Word Meadows

I've lost myself among the meadows of letters and words I'm deep in the throes of a unrecognizable place that's all too familiar Learning to speak the language of my heart once again.

Alanis Morissette, Sorry to Myself/Haruki Murakami,1084

“The right one for you will move mountains to be with you—he won’t hide behind them.”

— Mandy Hale, The Single Woman

Is it a crime to desire a life beyond my own?

Is it a crime to want to be anyone but me?

There’s that one person you’ll never get over no matter how long it’s been.

“I have an absolute need for countryside, quiet, solitude.”

— Nikos Kazantzakis, from a letter to his sister written c. March 1912

“Why not take a chance and bet on happiness?”

— Jenny Han

When I am being loved, I respond to it with love, too. When I'm being less taken care of or ignored, I give back the same energy. I'm a believer in equivalent exchange. And that's my way of giving justice to this so-called reciprocation.
