The Things On My Mind

“Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you’ve set. But if you’re writing about science, you have to first learn what you’re writing about.”

“Listen closely: the only time it’s too late to change yourself is when you’re dead. Until then, you’re simply making excuses or lying to yourself.”

“We are products of our past but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.”

“You carry so much love in your heart. Give some to yourself.”

“Inside of all of us there is the need and the desire to be heard, to have our innermost thoughts, feelings and desires expressed for others to hear, to see and to understand. We all want to matter to someone.”

“I want to wake up with you beside me in the mornings. I want to spend my evenings looking at you across the dinner table. I want to share every mundane detail of my day with you and hear every detail of yours. I want to laugh with you and fall asleep with you in my arms.”

“A wildflower sprouted on my lips when we kissed then another on my collarbone as you brushed my hair aside. A field grew like wild down the river that is my spine as your fingertips lightly touched every space they could find. My eyes like sunflowers fixated on you, my hands around yours intertwined. Come closer now, wildflowers need the sun to bloom before they die.”

“A gentle reminder that your heart is a muscle and so should be exercised regularly. Love often and love deeply.”
