I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent...

This is my favorite quote.

Sing to Me
“Love is not blind -it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.” -Rabbi Julius Gordon
Getting here was hard. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it, afraid that I had become indifferent. But with the lights turned off and my head drifting slowly to sleep, the strings of your guitar reminded me of why we began. When my mind turned backed the pages, all I...

Ich liebe dich, auf wiedersehen
“Fingertips trace the lines, pens and papers recall the good times. But clocks they do run and change what’s been done; say goodbye.” -Will Hoge, “Carousel”
We were never more than a sad goodbye. I wanted your Love. I wanted you. You were my god. You brought color, life and meaning into my empty heart. But you were never mine. I know there was a moment where you knew...

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” -Picasso
I enjoy writing about my life. I enjoy it because it’s a process. To tackle a past emotion or situation all the information needs to first be put on the table so I can sort through it. You see, in my head it’s all a big mess and when too many days pass without my hand meeting keys or paper, all the space...

Speaking of Dreams...
“Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t know that so it goes on flying anyway.” -Mary Kay Ash
I had a dream about my life five years from now a few weeks ago that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. Well, if I’m being honest I don’t really want it out of my head. I’d actually like to hold onto it for...

Tumbling down the Rabbit Hole
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream” -Edgar Allan Poe, ”A Dream Within A Dream”
When I was a child I was most afraid that my father would leave. He left. When I was a teenager I was most afraid that I would fall face first to the ground. I fell. As I turned twenty I was most afraid that real love, if it were to find me, would leave me. It found me, and...

Come Rain or Shine – Part III
“The sun will rise to better days, change will come, it’s on its way, just close your eyes and let it rain.” –Ian Axel, “You’ll Be Okay”
You are brave and strong, and in your heart you know what’s right for you. Always listen to your inner voice and follow your instincts. Do all the things you want with this life, have no regrets, and realize that even the most awful of events can eventually lead...

Come Rain or Shine – Part II
“You can call me rain for all I seem to do is always fall for you.” –Daily Haiku by Tyler Knott Gregson
She was standing in the middle of rainstorm, the cold drops on her lips and fingers, the blowing wind tangling her hair, the sound of thunder making her feel alive. With each falling drop her heart began to beat faster and she knew that she should walk away, but her stubborn feet refused to...

Come Rain or Shine - Part I
“ Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.” –Anthony J. D’Angelo
She wasn’t looking for him; he merely appeared from a familiar place. Someone else was on her mind when they first encountered one another. Sure, she believes in love. Love is something she’s felt many times before, but this, no, not this. This is something much different.
He saw her from a...

Walk with me
“If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything.” -Win Borden
I want to scream from the inside out until there is no more air left and my eyes can no longer see, so that I must then scream from the outside in until I can no longer breathe and my face turns blue. Then I will fall to ground and be trampled over...

Happy Birthday
“Words are a lens to focus one’s mind.” -Ayn Rand
I was skeptical about letting you into my life, but on a day that I remember well due to being emotionally confused, I decided I’ve give you a chance. And so here we are, one year later. Anyone who has ever met me knows that I struggle when it comes to talking about myself. My self-doubt is always getting in the way. If I...

Counterfactual Thinking
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” -Buddha
We were destined to meet. I needed you. If I had known that you would be my savior I never would have questioned why we had to meet, and I never would have said that I wished we hadn’t. Oh, the...
