Awareness without action is worthless.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.

One day I will kiss you, kiss you with lips that understand, kiss you with lips that can better explain, that can speak in so many languages. They will know how to say I love you in ways you have never heard, in ways that sound unlike anything any other man has mouthed before, false promises and fairy tales they did not ever believe in. One day I will kiss you, pressed words between your lips. I will kiss you and they will rattle between your teeth, run down your throat, and fill your lungs. They will echo against your ribs, they will reverberate through your limbs, they will dress every corner you’ve kept sadness hidden away until all that grows inside of you is the understanding that you are enough. One day I will tell you all about my paper napkin theories, algorithms I formed that demonstrate how the sum of all that you are, is greater than infinity, but to me you have always been the one.

Everyone makes mistakes. The wise are not people who never make mistakes, but those who forgive themselves and learn from their mistakes.

The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.

I’m the one that has to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.

We’re cool for the summer.

The love we were promised in fairy tales was never something for us to find. It has always been something for us to create.

It’s so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

What is important is not the right doctrine but the attainment of the true experience. It is giving up believing in belief.

You need to face the pain and the fear and walk through the Grief.
