"You might be interested to know that if I ever had a good mind, it has been lost in the shuffle. I seem to have stagnated and I am aware that I'm not using any capacity that I have to the fullest; however, don't give up hope, maybe I'll make you proud yet."

“The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.”

—	Derek Walcott

‎"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

I wonder.
How can I miss one being this much
As if the world cannot contain such a love
For I weep to be within the arms of his words
The voice and the eyes of the moon I seek
I feel you in between the valleys of my fingers
My mind longs to fit under yours
You make me feel like I fit
As though you have created a home for me
A roof and a fire to keep me reserved
You are the beautiful house
My Love, you are

"Poetry doesn’t pay anything, but it was a form I needed. It was a kind of a passionate, pleasurable, selfish, nice form where you could scream a little bit." --Charles Bukowski

"The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it—basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them." --Charles Bukowski

Rien n'est grave mias tout est precieux


nothing in life is really to be taken too seriously but everything in life is to be appreciated

“I think we’re always responsible for our actions. We’re free. I raise my hand – I’m responsible. I turn my head to the right – I’m responsible. I’m unhappy – I’m responsible. I smoke a cigarette – I’m responsible. I shut my eyes – I’m responsible. I forget that I’m responsible, but I am. I told you escape is a pipe dream. After all, everything is beautiful. You only have to take an interest in things, see their beauty. It’s true. After all, things are just what they are. A face is a face. Plates are plates. Men are men. And life…is life.” - Nana Kleinfrankenheim
