Find what you love

We live our lives standing on the ledge of our third floor dreams. We know the fall won’t kill us, but it would surely break bones. 

“Live higher.

Never let go

She stood facing the mirror. That cliché never worked. She stepped away, walked toward a wall. Pressing her cheek into the cool surface she moved in, imagining herself walking through a door, and into the garden below. Traipsing? No. She fluttered and wafted down. The grass was freshly mown. The smell of painful screams lingered. It reminded her of what was meant to be forgotten. Memories that hurt as they squeezed the air out of her lungs. Memories never worth holding on to.

But she'd held on to the other memories. And here she was, floating through them. Faces, voices, beautiful moments, laughter, togetherness, belonging... everything that made her feel warm. She chose to keep these with her. And never forgot.


Basking in them she could wake up now. She stepped away hearing the tinkle and chatter from the room beyond. She smiled, popped a pill and walked out.

A reminder to myself



“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyse and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.” 
― Bob Marley
