to cross the earth,
you'd need to travel
over 24,901 miles.

there are over
7,800,000,000 humans
in 193 countries
on 7 continents.

the average person meets
less than 80,000 people
during their lifetime.

statistically speaking,
you will meet less than
0.001% of the people
walking this planet.



I've always had trouble
believing in the things
that we cannot prove.

from mythical creatures
to certain phenomena to
bible stories and religion,

faith is something that
I can't seem to find.



but statistically speaking,
we should have never met.

statistically, we should still be
two strangers living our lives
thousands of miles apart.



right now, I am looking
over at you and realizing
just how ******* lucky I am.

there are over
7,800,000,000 humans
in 193 countries
on 7 continents.

yet somehow, we defied
those statistics and
we found each other.



maybe I won't ever
believe in religion
or phenomena or fate,

but I do believe that
sometimes miracles happen

and the most unexpected
feelings can become reality.



I believe that love
and happiness do exist,
and I believe that
all because of you.

this world is not
as bad as it may seem.

hope is not as dim
as it may appear.



sometimes, statistics
don't matter at all

and life gets better
even if you didn't
think that it could.

I believe that now,
and you are my proof.

Flowers are direct proof of love in nature.
They are symbol of a beauty.
They smell variously. It's a mystic.
Why they grow?
Plant doesn't need flower for
releasing new life.
Why so they grow?
Maybe to make our nature colorful.
To make it into Eden.
Direct proof of love.

Nature wants flowers be beauty.
Flowers for lovers.
Flowers for tenderness.
Flowers for softness.

What we did not see
From the dark fathom
Now a moment in time
Survived as proof
We can survive

*******

for preying on my naïveté
and the innocence
that I hadn't lost yet

and destroying my trust
when I idolized you
like a ******* god

and taking my heart
knowing **** well that
you planned to break it.




but also,
thank you

for showing me how to
spot those red flags

and teaching me
the lessons that I would
eventually need to learn
with or without you

and proving to me that
I deserve so much better.

She lifted up a thousand eyes
Which followed her like spotlight
Like thirsting telescopes tracing shooting star
Longing to be filled with natural wonder
What spells befell such eyes
Each piece studied of an impeccable work
And each stare the knowing of a Creator
As each breath and move she made was testament

Beauty is my witness
To the better things to come

Would anybody
Want me
With these wounds
Would they
Find proof of
Life
From the quiet
Beat of my
Blood?

Do not shun your chance at life

You have something to hold onto
Something to live for
A dream to hold
An idea
A word
-Something!

Those are not answers
The ways out
No escapes

Wonder a future where happiness is yours

That future belongs to you

You have to keep the image of your smile unwavering in your mind

If pursuit of joy ceases not I promise you will have it one day

Through experience I have learned that no matter how dark the night
It always ends

The dawn of a better day coming

Let faith be undying and that faith in the universe
In time
Will be rewarded

I am living proof of that
I have been through quite a lot of **** in my 25 years on this planet and I gotta say the harder the struggle is, the better the good things feel, the more you appreciate every hug, every word, every moment.

If you don't know, I can't tell you who you are.
I can't tell what you'll be
But I can tell you what I see.
When I look in your eyes,
I can see pain you've been trying to disguise.
I see you hoping you can find hope.
And when I look at your face,
I see someone who can never be replaced.
I can see you feel 100 years older
Because you've been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Watching your chest move when you put your hand on your heart, that's proof you're human.
And if you want to find out who you are,
that's a good place to start.
In the end, it doesn't matter what I see.
All that matters is you find a way to love who you are
and look forward to who you'll be.
