Choose to be alive in this moment.
Bring the wild fire into your home.
Clean your mind for some time.
Focus on what must be done.
Insert yourself into the life of what you love.
Seek possibilities with an active patience.
Do what you must, with passion above all else.
Accept the gift of your self.
Share all that you are. Keep some for yourself.
To be a friend, do not come and go with your intentions.
And do not tolerate it from others.
All this time spent can be so much better.
Combat your bitterness with support.
Hope is a constant conversation. It can take as much as it gives. Don't let it exhaust you.

Fire building

You aren't good enough as you are,
  and neither is the person you want to become.

It is only in the striving that you are so much greater. A beautiful human being.

Doubt and proof create the friction, what sets in motion that which builds your worth. And that which sets you in motion sparks the roaring fire within you.

wild blue violets forever

When your spine is a rubberband and your lungs only know sighs
and the city is a jungle full of memories overgrown and lived in;
If despite the cacophony of people and information drumming on your door
and the onslaught on all focus and attention, you're more alone by the hour,
don't despair.
No matter the number of places you move, you'll never find home
if you don't realize you're already there.
You have everything you could ever need.
The real reason your heart is so busted and broken
is that
so many roots have already taken hold.
Take some time to tend the garden.

I was listening for the whirr of a centrifuge as the people I passed felt like a roulette.

There is no way to know the life you want to lead before you've lived it.

I want to spend time around people like you.

The best I could wish for is that your memories of me are a smooth respite in your recollection of this world.
