“You see, LOVE liberates. It doesn’t bind. LOVE says “I love you”. I love you if you’re in China, I love you if you’re across town, I love you if you’re in Harlem. I LOVE YOU. I would like to be near you, I’d like to have your arms around me, I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible, so I LOVE YOU. GO!”

Thank YOU, Dr. Angelou. 

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow."

- Khalil Gibran (The Prophet)

"When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person’s body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings."

lovely friends.

My friend sends me a message in regards to my fotos and he says:

Thank you for sharing all that. It realigned my dreams for me (i forget in the midst of the routine).

I nearly cried. His words are beautiful. And they mean so much more to me. i feel like we all forget our dreams in the midst of our daily routine. im writing out his words. and posting it on my wall when i get back home. so that i don’t forget.
