looking for my marbles: We ended up mistaking... →
We ended up mistaking our conscience to the color of our blood and rationale as the salt of our tears. We affirm and deny in desperation; a frustrated attempt to save something of the past. We convince and are convinced, we argue, deduce, and assume the conclusion in a reasonably uniform and balanced way. Contrary to what most people think, we are simply skimming the surface of concepts about...

A Million Exhales: We Write What We Know. →
About pain and love and unrequited passion. About lonely girls standing on street corners in the rain. About homeless men that walk with pride. About oceans and sunsets and our lovers’ smiles.

Some semblance of order is imperative, but the lines that concern me are the imaginary ones. Lines between countries. Lines we create to barricade ourselves from the world. Lines that divide us spiritually. Though these delineations are not...

Mantra of the Day: Have Hope
Things will turn out for the best.
Your deepest desires will come true. Not exactly as you thought it would, but it’ll turn out to be even better than you hoped for.
Be patient. Trust that the universe supports you.
Stay hopeful.
Let go of the resistance and negativity.
Let your heart shines through. That is when miracles occur.
