"Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near.
Your slightest look easily will unclose me
though I have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose,
Or if your wish be to close me, I and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing,
(I do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)."
When you get your heart broken, it always feels like you have to start over.
Restart.
Refocus.
Reset.
As many times as you have too.
I need to get back to basics. I've been so caught up in my own shit that I haven't spent the time to actually get back to my roots. My foundation needs balance again, so here's me heading out of a very stressful and hectic winter and hopefully into a new season filled with endless laughter and blessings. Out with the old bullshit and into the new.
"I want to draw something that means something to someone. You know, I want to draw blind faith, or a fading summer, or just a moment of clarity.
It's like when you go and see a really great band, live for the first time, you know, and nobody's saying it, but everybody's thinking it, we have something to believe in again.

It's like when you go and see a really great band, live for the first time, you know, and nobody's saying it, but everybody's thinking it, we have something to believe in again.
I want to draw that feeling, but I can't.
And if I can't be great at it then I don't want to ruin it.
It's too important to me."
That's how I feel about my writing.
No cut cards.
No take backs.
Just the cold, hard and honest truth.
It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything worth publishing, so this is in honor of all that I love and what makes me collectively me.

Through each of our lives we are taken through a series of trials and tribulations that make us inherently who we are and more importantly what we might become.
I say that with a heavy, but also a light heart because pain changes us in ways we may have never anticipated.

Through each of our lives we are taken through a series of trials and tribulations that make us inherently who we are and more importantly what we might become.
I say that with a heavy, but also a light heart because pain changes us in ways we may have never anticipated.
I share my stories with you.
Personal, uncut and direct.
I want to show you that life is easier once we stop blaming ourselves for bad luck or unfortunate circumstances and start self evaluating.
I'll share my scary stories with you about me and my past, as long as you listen with a close ear and open your heart to the next person. Sometimes all it takes is breaking down our own barriers in order to receive the openness and love we are all desperately looking for.
