‘as you are.’ says the universe.
‘after...’ you answer.
‘as you are.’ says the universe.
‘before...’ you answer.
‘as you are.’ says the universe.
‘when...’ you answer.
‘as you are.’ says the universe.
‘how...’ you answer.
‘as you are.’ says the universe.
‘why...’ you answer.
‘because
you are happening now.
right now.
right at this moment
and
your happening
is beautiful.
the thing that both keeps me alive
and
brings me to my knees.
you don’t even know how breathtaking you
are.
as you are.’ says the universe through tears.
as you are | you are the prayer

...we were being polite and not saying all the things that were making us unhappy, which was the only way we knew how to love each other.

Stop waiting for it to make sense
Stop using that as an excuse to leave the door open
It’s not closure you’re seeking
It’s this hope that despite what’s gone wrong
everything can go back to normal
– Samantha King, Born to Love, Cursed to Feel

You taught me that there is such a thing as unconditional love; when you found a way to love me, in the condition I was in.

Sometimes
It’s not going to be ok
That thing that you didn’t want to happen
Didn’t happen for any reason at all
It just happened
There’s nothing to be learned or gained
It won’t make you better
It won’t make anything better
And you’ll always feel bad about the way it went down
That’s all that can be said about some things

“I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same.”

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

It’s been a long, hard road but I’ve finally
found the closure I need to move on.
I’ve learned to accept that my all is not always
going to be enough and love is neither
owed nor earned it either is or it’s not.
I gave you the world, but you wanted the stars.

I love watching someone put on a show,
only to slowly settle into the person they really are.

I have been dying to learn that
trick you do with your heart. The
one where it expands and its
walls become soft and accepting
of all the flesh and blood and
disasters that grow around it.

Whenever you feel a negative
emotion be alone in a room
and just sit down with it and
feel. Don’t judge it, criticize
it, intellectualize it, explain
it away. Allow yourself to
feel the pain. It’s okay.

I have learned that when sadness comes to visit me, all I can do is say ‘I see you.’ I spend some time with it, get up, and say goodbye. I don’t push it away, I own it. And because I own it, I let it go.

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability… To be alive is to be vulnerable.

I think of the closet and all the youth still splintered by its unruly wood. I don't have language. For now, I'll say: understand those who use the closet you've built them as flimsy armor against your bullets.

“
Show me the sum of your parts, the layers and layers beneath the lie, the mayhem and madness behind the mask — every dark, ugly truth you conceal underneath that pretty, picture perfect front. Let down your guard and be ruthlessly yourself, I want you for your raw, whole honest heart.
—Beau Taplin

Please leave format credit to 1986!
What I’m not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.
