Not everything
             is  suppose  to  become
                         something  
                beautiful  and  long
                            lasting.

                 Sometimes people
                        come  into  
             your  life  to   show you
                      what is right
         and what  is wrong. To show  
                     you  who  you  
                           can  be,
                 to teach you to love
                          yourself,
                 and to  make you feel
            better  for  a little  while.

                                Not
                    everyone is going
        to  stay  forever  but  you  just
               have to keep on going,
                      thanking them
            for whatever it is that they
                           gave you
                and when  you  finally
          get  tired  of  trying,  just leave.
                         No fight, no
            argument, and sometimes
                        not  even  a
                          goodbye.

Hello you.
I know you.
Long time now.
Many lifetimes.

I want to lie
with my legs
entangled in yours,
I want to live
with my heart
in sync with yours,
I want to die
with my hands
entwined in yours..
I am
and have always
been yours.

there is a possibility
that this space
between you and I
does not exist and that
we truly are One
that indeed we are
our own ancestors
reaping seeds
that we've already sewn
consequences shape life
and as gods in training
we must learn how to sculpt.

Embrace
          uncertainty,
              some of
              the most
              beautiful
       chapters  in our
  lives won't have a title
           until much
    later in our time here
          on this earth .

     Today I want to think
       about all that you
are instead of all that you
                are not.

      Your ability to listen
to  and  take  action  based  on
          your inner voice -
  regardless of how you feel,
          other influences
        or temptations you face -
               is the key to
               self  mastery.

                       The
               impossible
                   is often
                      only
                the untried.
