i have a little voice that talks to me it tells me what to eat what to wear what to say and what to do it's not too bossy though or too loud i know i don't have to listen or do what it says and usually, i don't because what it tells me to do is always harder than what i want to do but i admit sometimes i do wonder who i'd be if i did everything the little voice tells me to do
it's true the degree to which you open your heart is the degree to which you can hurt but don't be a coward throw yourself open be vulnerable and greedy gather all the love you can possibly hold in the basket of your heart then, if life takes it away embrace the waves of grief that will surely come scatter the remaining petals of your love on each oceanic swell until the surges subside and become gentle with your heart once more yes, to gather love is to be brave and wild, but wise know this: hurt never lasts beyond life but love does so, pick up your basket return to the fields and harvest some love again
today is a dreary day the clouds in my mind and heart are heavy saturated i feel them condensing welling up droplets swell and fall from my eyes becoming rivulets down my cheeks i tilt my head back ahhh . . . sweet release reposeful flow i breathe . . . in . . . and out . . . in . . . and out . . . in . . . and out . . . the clouds are lifting the horizon is clearing my tears are evaporating i begin to feel warm inside it's done i'm clean refreshed from the inside out now, a glass of water a nap, to recharge then i'll be ready to begin again
it's okay i don't have to understand you to love you
excuse me, will you look deep in my eyes put your hand on my cheek and whisper reassurance that i'm seen that i have value that i'm special? sincerely, every human
