she lives for the instances when someone falls into her hearthole and grieves at murals of stains and misgivings within her. who can understand… firmly believe, without a doubt, there isn’t anything wrong with her. ignorance and indifference try and try to distress her sorry heart into pitiful strings and worthless threads… unweave and quench out everything living within her....
Have Faith.
vesi:
Faith isn’t anything you can see or touch, you feel it in your heart. It keeps you trying when others have given up. It keeps you believing in the goodness of others and helps you find it… Faith is trusting in a power greater than yourself and knowing this power will carry you through anything. It is believing in yourself and having the courage to stand up for what you believe in. Faith...

believe it or not,
I am as tender as your favorite bedtime story but I can be a hard, stubborn, rip-you-apart-for-your-own-well-being kind of child.
I noticed, being a christian, I would hide that “negative” part… I guess because I felt obligated to and was listening to a monstrously destructive lie. GASP, I’m a sinner. OF COURSE, I AM. That’s why I follow God....
…Or, you could just sit back and decide to enjoy life. To make do with what you...

”I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you’re the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, “Spence,” and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that’s all about...
even though, my heart feels so defeated, constricted, strained, the truth is overpowering any weakness that’s tormenting me. love does that…
we’re all blessed, very sweetly blessed.
The opportunities are remarkably endless! remarkably, remarkably… how romantic! I will refuse to turn to dust.
Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving...

“My kids are starting to notice I’m a little different from the other dads. ‘Why don’t you have a straight job like everyone else?’ they asked me the other day. I told them this story: In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, ‘Look at me…I’m tall, and I’m straight, and I’m handsome. Look at you…you’re all crooked and...

One foot in front of the other, she stared at the cracked gravel. A miniscule tulip with a striking color, resembling the honey summer dress she wore in January, poked out beneath the debris. She was like that one tree that grew in Brooklyn. Stranded...
