I guess we all have a little bit of ‘i want to save the world’ in us, but i just want to put it out there that it’s okay if you are able to only save one person and it’s also okay if that person is you.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

And if happiness visits you again, do not remember it’s previous betrayal. Enter into the happiness and burst.

Clementine Von Radics, from In A Dream You Saw A Way To Survive; “You are on the floor crying”

If I’m entirely honest,
and you say I must be,
I want to stay with you all afternoon
evening, night and tomorrow
pressed into you so tightly that we don’t know whose belly made what sound,
whose heart it is that is thumping like that
until I don’t know if the sweat on my chest is yours or mine or ours.
