Wings

Have compassion, joy and ideas to set free. INSPIRE young souls, but let their hearts be. Sing to be happy and DANCE to have dreams, LOVE with your heart and let your tears stream. There is something to be said for life as a bird; let yourself SOAR and your song will be heard.

And when your world seems to come crashing down, and the people you thought you trusted have betrayed you, smile. Smile, and make them wonder why.

You’d rather make up a fantasy version of somebody in your head than be with a real person.

Girls like her were born in a storm. They have lightning in their souls. Thunder in their hearts. And chaos in their bones.

You weren’t there when I needed you most. You didn’t call or hold me close. My heart was breaking in so many ways, but you walked away knowing I wasn’t okay, and I realized I was never worth it to you.

Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

Physics says: go to sleep. Of course you’re tired. Every atom in you has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes nonstop from mitosis to now. Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance inside themselves without you. Go to sleep. Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch by inch America is giving itself to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch. You aren’t alone. All of the continents used to be one body. You aren’t alone. Go to sleep. Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow, Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle, Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over town and History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer, down and down.

Relax. You will become an adult. You will figure out your career. You will find someone who loves you. You have a whole lifetime; time takes time.

You come home, make some tea, sit down in your armchair, and all around there’s silence. Everyone decides for themselves whether that’s loneliness or freedom.

I hope one day, twenty years from now, you’re somewhere and you hear my laughter, that loud, lovely, contagious giggle you used to adore and you’ll spin around, searching frantically for it. Until you find it, find me, sitting close by or standing a little behind you as a little girl in my exact likeness sits there playing with me and giggling too with such life in her eyes frightens you and such happiness in mine it makes your own eyes tear up. I hope you take a good look at me and that little girl and feel a weird sad/happy feeling rushing over you and filling all your cracks and crevices. I hope you feel sad because you know in your heart of hearts that I was the best thing in your life and you threw me away like I was useless and not enough for you when I was in fact priceless and imperfectly perfect, and hey, look what we could’ve had together if things were different. And I hope you feel happy because although it’s not you and me and that kid, I got the happy ending I deserved and me being happy makes you happy which in turn you know will make me happy too; happy because we both ended up in the exact places we were meant to be, right or wrong. I hope when that day comes and you catch my eye, and I smile at you softly and point my little girl in your direction to wave, you wave back and smile too, and come over to chat rather than run away like you do best and try to drown me out with crutch after toxic crutch. I’ll get to that point and you will too, but whatever roads we have to go down to get there, I hope you know that I just want you to be happy and safe. I always have. So, go be happy and safe. - until we end up in Jerusalem
