I don’t know how to love. I don’t know how to love because I once loved. I don’t know how to trust or believe or let go. I know how to doubt, and hate, and pretend. I know how to say sorry and fuck it up… fuck it all up. I don’t know how to love but I know how to let other’s think their love is enough. I know how to be broken, and broken, and broken. I know how...
new years 12
hello, goodbye. I’ll look forward to seeing you soon… or perhaps never again. these new days seem so much like the last days. so much like the ones we’ve always known. but they’re wrapped up and shinny and untouched by our hands. and that’s all the difference. it’s all possible now. the whole world is yours. ripe for the taking. ripe for the feasting. as...

10 Years
It’s amazingly scary how small our world can seem. Distressing in the way our vision can only see but so far past the fences we build around our lives… even more so in youth. If you’re fortunate enough to be a silver spoon baby you’ve been conditioned to be nearsighted. That your consciousness doesn’t extend beyond your “perfect” nuclear family, the friends you’ve had since preschool, and the...

shall we pray?
shall we pray… for London? for England? for Europe? for Norway? for the Middle East? for New Zealand? for Japan? for the Sudan? for Africa? for Haiti? for the sick? for the hungry? for the lost? for the weak? for the homeless? for the voiceless? for the hopeless? for the world? shall we all just pray… for each other?
seems the longer we live the further away we get from what it means to be human.

one Friday morning
one Friday morning I remembered the weight your presence holds in my life. I remembered how important your existence is to my existence. I realized I’d taken for granted how rare such things are. that I’d forgotten not all will forever be. the ground beneath will shake and the waves will crash and breathing won’t come as easily as we’ve known it to. surviving will become...

prayers for Japan
in the harshest of times, times like these, more than any other, we should remember we’re all a part of each other. and tragedy to one of us should be felt by all of us. because life can be perilous and heartbreaking… but the love and compassion we show is what will heal those who’ve lost more than can be measured.
these are the times.

seems a rather backwards way of living, that I forget who I am all the time but never who I pretend to be.

don’t keep grudges. keep going.
I think about saying something profound frequently. I think about changing the world in a ridiculous way. giving everything I have to give. writing the entirety of my heart. building schools in Africa. climbing Mount Everest. offering my hand, always. I think about being someone bigger than myself… something better. I think about it more than I probably should.
