Everybody bleeds when broken.
Everybody.
It's the scars that numb the soul until you decide to grow and live again.

0628

"The body achieves what the mind believes."
Somebody once told me that  everything is a state of mind.
Frighteningly true.

0627

Perhaps it was the early morning breakfast that snagged her heart, causing it to start beating again.
Hasn't stopped since.

0626

My heart breaks.
How do you heal an abuser?
How do you recover from abuse?
Yes it takes two.
Always.

0625

Once upon a time, as dawn broke she fell in love with the way the sun glistened on her skin.

0624

I miss you as a flower misses the sun on a stormy day.
The warmth of your presence revives me.

0623

Memories betray me. A flicker of thought carrying an array of feelings. Wandering through them before descending into senselessness again.

0622

It's frightening how I can feel so numb. There's emptiness and there's numbness.
Overwhelmed with emotions, the heart shuts down.

0621

Aside from trust and relationships, one of the things I value in this life is a good conversation.
Mind-altering kind.

0620

Sometimes you just have to make the choice, do the jump and then think about the consequences.
Easier. Saner. Manageable.

0619

For the first time in 16 years I'm not celebrating today.
Rather, I'm thinking about what I've done, should've done.

0618

What dictates the bonds between two people?
Is it our mind? our emotions?
Some strange mix of fate and providence.

0617

At one point I found myself asking - was I really happy?
I was content, but I was not happy.
Sighs.

0616

Fears.
Sometimes it conquers you. Sometimes it rattles you.
And sometimes it reminds us why some things are worth it.

0615

"Death by a thousand cuts."
First time I've heard of it but seems that's what happened.
Smallest cut ended it.

0614

It is time.
Three powerful words often uttered with finality, with emotion.
Synchronicity.
Nothing anyone can do to stop it.

0613

Please dear Saturday, don't fly too fast.
Let me breathe, let me live.
Clinging to each moment.
Can't let go.

0612

I don't like being told I am sick.
I already know it.
Which is why I choose to be well.

0611

Like catchy melody, she fills my thoughts with the music of her life.
Each day is an ever familiar refrain.

0610

Relationships.
Some relationships will test you.
Some will teach you life's lessons.
Some will bring out the best in you.

0609

Something's wrong with me.
I can't focus. I am losing focus.
This is strange.
It is unlike me.
Wonder why.

0608

Sometimes I feel I need to step away and think.
Instead I end up sitting in silence.
Enjoying my present.

0607

Pain.
Excruciating.
Agonizing.
Unbearable.

This is my reality. This is my present.
And I won't have it any other way.

0606

We are connected in ways nobody can imagine.
It started with visions, then feelings followed.
Now we're joined in thought.

0605

Yes, it's true. Love alone can change the world. It may not be the entire world -
It changed MY world.

0604

Something's changed in me.
I've started to sing again and I realized that I missed it.
I'm writing poetry too.

0603

I feel it.
The road has started to clear.
Burdens are being lifted.
Light filters through shadows.
A milestone completed.

0602

Yes, names matter.
All these years, thought I couldn't open up any more - I did.
Discovered another side of me.

0601

Today it seemed I lived a lifetime.
Time stopped and started, then stopped again.
Didn't want this day to end.
