Be Teachable. You’re Not Always Right.

The hardest part about moving on is realizing that you didn't mean as much to someone as they meant to you.

a deep connection can’t be formed without emotional safety. without safety, there’s no trust. without trust, there’s no vulnerability. without vulnerability, there’s no intimacy + without intimacy, there’s no true connection.

life has made me so quiet. i just wanna listen. no more talking, no more explaining, no more begging. silence.

to love someone is firstly to confess: i'm prepared to be devastated by you. by A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt

Emily Dickinson, from her poem titled "1188," featured in The Emergency Poet

She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed, and to love and be loved in return.
