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.

The universe, at any given point, in any given time, is expanding indefinitely in all directions. So trust me when I say, ‘you are the center of mine.’

Love cannot be defined, reduced, or ignored. It exists just the same for me, for you, for everyone.

I know the sun rises in the eat and sets in the west, that I am ten fingers and ten toes and ten thousand reasons short of explaining what it is I can’t explain to you. And I know that I will always love you in certainties.

She woke up every morning with the option of being anyone she wished. How beautiful it was that she always chose herself.

Love is simple: It is waking up knowing you exist in a mind outside of your own. It is having one heart that carries two beats. It is you and me spoken in terms of us and we.

The world’s crazy, when it comes to beauty.

Accept the past for what it was. Acknowledge the present for what it is. Anticipate the future for what it can become.

The best stories don’t come from ‘good vs. bad’ but ‘good vs. good.’

In order to succeed you must fail so you know what to do better the next time.

To resent efficiency is a mark of inefficiency.

Unless you know who you are, you will always be vulnerable to what people say.

Love is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing.

Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.

When you doubt the brilliance of your shine, I will take you through my darkness. I will show you where you shine the brightest.

I’m doing it because I choose it. And if it’s not working, I can make a change.

When people believe in boundaries, they become part of them.

When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it’s only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity.

Love thy neighbour as yourself, but choose your neighbourhood.
