I've learned feeling. I've learned the depths of pain, of fear, of love, of thankfulness, of confusion. I’ve learned to take chances, and know who I can count on if it was a mistake. I’ve found strong hands to hold when I need them. I’ve learned to be soft, to be vulnerable. It’s not easy, but it’s the ideal way to live. Vulnerability means you’re ( Read more... )

Why is it harder to appreciate those closest to us, but easy to regonize the sincere efforts of people that are mere aquaintences?

Sometimes I forget how to say "thank you" to the people who I really need to.

There is a certain silence that hovers around death. It's the silence that you can sense across miles of space. It is many words that don't make sense but add up to "I'm hurting." And the silence is an acceptance and understanding of this hurt. This silence does not question, it merely waits. It may wait for answers or tears or embraces. It might ( Read more... )

different verse, change a word, and it's exact:

"I have no problems
Dipping in my feet
But the trouble comes when
I have to jump.

I've been looking at you
Sideways.

Thats just space and time
I gave it up
All for a love

Your memory is all around me, I can't escape it. I hear your voice and your laugh when there is no sound; I can feel your smile from other people's faces.
