Coffee Cups & Whisky Shots

Don't you dare mess with my coffee. Red lips, pink hair.

[sparks-by-alex-andra]

Beauty and grace is what you taught me

Until your last breath you were the same

Terrific and lovely and confident

Terrible and funny and kind

Everyone loved you

Really I mean it

Full of life and stories

Loved given and felt always

You will forever be my aspiration

I want someone who admires me with the same intensity as they admire the moon and the stars.

I miss the way I viewed the world before I knew too much about it

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

When people ask if I'd change anything about a book I've already written, I want to explain to them that I'm not the person who wrote that book any longer, and even if I tried right now I'd write a different one. Everything you make as a writer* is a combination of what you want to say and who you are at the time you are telling that story.

*possibly also as an artist or as a human being
