Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

“Spew out your positive energy.

I saw my earlier selves as different people, acquaintances I had outgrown. I wondered how I could ever have been some of them.

I want to know you
whether you’re afraid of sharks or spiders
death or love.

I want to know if it’s grammatical errors
that drive you crazy
or the people correcting them,
if you’re more comfortable
shaking sand out of your hair
or snow,
if you prefer coffee or tea,
bars or board game nights.

I want to know which of your friends
you’ve cried in front of,
if you’ve ever laughed chocolate milk
out of your nose,
or kissed someone you didn’t love.

I want to know you,
the you beneath the layer
of small talk
always kept
shined and smudgeless. 

I’m just hoping one day
you’ll invite me
in.

When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.

Go and love someone exactly as they are. And then watch how quickly they transform into the greatest, truest version of themselves. When one feels seen and appreciated in their own essence, one is instantly empowered.

“ Daily reminder!
”
I went hot air ballooning and it was the most magical, dreamy experience
Be grateful for what you have, not bitter about what you don’t.
