To the new moon and the solar eclipse. To new beginnings.

First time saying goodbye to the things I wish to let go and welcoming new energies and things to come. Things I wish to attract.

If love were to have a face, it would be hers. She is gentle, yet ferocious, scarred, but strong.

Saying that everything is fine or that it will never get any better are ways of going nowhere or of making it impossible to go anywhere. Either approach implies that there is no road out or that, if there is, you don't need to or can't go down it. You can.

Being a ray of love in a world of fear is a powerful choice. There is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn’t always been kind to them.

Get lost and find yourself over and over again.

It's more complicated than that, sugar. However complicated you think it is, everything is always more complicated than that. There are no shortcuts. Not to understanding and not to knowledge. You can't put anyone into a box. Listen, even a stone isn't the same as any other stone, so I don't know where you all think you get off labelling humans with simple words and thinking you know everything you need. But most people can't live that way, even some of the time. They say: only exceptional people can cross the borders. The truth is: anyone can cross, everyone has it in them. But only exceptional people can bear to look it in the eye.
