“If it hurts more than it makes you happy then take the lesson and leave. Listen, it’s going to be OK. Some people are only rehearsals for the real thing.”
— Beau Taplin
i’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.

I love small talk. Why does everything have to be serious to be meaningful? Tell me about your morning, you had pancakes with homemde syrup? Your motorcycle is the shop? Yes this weather is lovely. How was that movie? You got that shirt on sale for how much?? Talk to me for no reason other than to talk. Share your quiet moments and I'll share mine. We are both human and your company is precious, especially when you're complaining about your neighbors, when you tell me how your garden is doing, when we laugh at the obsurdity of simply existing.
“I never change, I simply become more myself.”
— Joyce Carol Oates
“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”
— Nayyirah Waheed
“I am a different person to different people. Annoying to one. Talented to another. Quiet to a few. Unknown to a lot. But who am I, to me?”
— Unknown
falling down in the unknown depths
reaching out to get a grasp
catching myself looking down
in the abyss
getting up again
carring on
“If you knew how hard it was, and how long it took, to rebuild my little universe of peace and happiness then you would understand why I’m so picky about who I allow in my life.”
