how does one always know the right things to say and what to do when it comes to me? i've never met such a person that could make me feel so safe in such a short period of time. for so long i've felt like i was too much, but he always tells me that i'm not and that i'm just enough.

The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien

[heartofmuse]

​I am the sky, not my storms.

​Let it thunder,

let it rain,

let the chaos pour.

Let the lightning fall,

let the hurricanes rage,

let the tornadoes touch down.

​For I am the vastness

where the clouds must go—

and it will all be blue again

come morning.

e.v.e.

People can add to your peace or take away from it but only if you allow them too. In the end, peace is born in you and is not found in the hands of another.

She possessed a heart most inconvenient to adore; indeed, she pricked every tender part of mine. Yet it was precisely her sharpness that bound me to her, for I had no patience for harmless affection.

[heartofmuse]

I want your tenderness as much as your passion, beloved; every part of you is precious to me. I find myself in the paradise of your arms, hearing the divine melody of your heartbeat. Your warmth and strength, the fragrance of your skin—it is a soothing peace to me. I want all of you, beloved: all that you are, and all that you give. I treasure every instant, every gesture, and everything that flows from your heart.

“They were different people together in daylight than they were alone in the dark.”

— Joseph Heller, Catch-22

[teaspirationss]

You're the only thing I want to overdose on, the only grounding comfort thought that keeps sub zero temperatures from spawning new nightmares. You're beautiful, even when you feel like your sky is too dark for stars. We're only what we bring out of each other, but you touched me like you knew where all the pieces went.

Take off your past and dance with me

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
