Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.

but you’ll never break
because it’s true nothing lasts forever
some things aren’t meant to be
but you’ll never find the answers
until you set your old heart free.

For so long I had been looking hard into every person I met, hoping I might discover in them all the thoughts and feelings I hoped life would give me, but hadn’t. There are some people who say you have to find such things in yourself, that you cannot count on anyone to supply even the smallest crumb your life lacks.
Although I knew this might be true, it didn’t prevent me from looking anyway. Who cares what people say? What people say has no effect on your heart.

“At some point you have to believe that the inadequacies of the words you use will be transcended by the faith with which you use them. You have to believe that poetry has some reach into reality itself, or you have to go silent.”
—Christian Wiman, from My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2013)

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.

The decision to be positive is not one that disregards or belittles sadness that exists. It is rather a conscious choice to focus on the good and to cultivate happiness - genuine happiness. Happiness is not a limited resource. When we devote our energy and time to trivial matters and choose to stress over things that ultimately are insignificant, from that point, we perpetuate our own sadness and lose sight of the things that really make us happy and rationalize our way out of doing amazing things.

Current mood: in the present. Thanks to @jencody (aka: most amazing friend. Evah) my ikea bookshelf is built and I’m ‘next right actioning’ through my day. I am blessed. I am blessed. Regardless of all else, I am blessed.
“Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.”

i look for you
in the middle of the light
in the west of the day
in the warm memory of the water.
