" 'I wish you weren't so beautiful,' [she] answered, awkwardly, as though [she] could scarcely bring [herself] to say such foolish things. 'I'm so afraid that something will happen to prevent us from being happy. It seems too much to expect that I should enjoy such extraordinarily good luck.' "

I made a vow that I would not hold back how I feel.
That I would speak solely from the heart even if it leads me to heartache.

I have come to the realization that life is bitter sweet and we will never get answers if we don't put ourselves out there. What should it matter if the other walks away? We were fine without them before they came. Why do we feel that the other must be the one to put themselves on the line - if we want something, we should go after it. I am learning how to do this, and slowly it is starting to feel good.
I have held back thoughts for so long -
what does it matter if people judge your ambitions or the way you want?
It is your life - do what makes you thrive.
Stop questioning how it could be - dive into it. Submerge yourself in wonder.
Yes, I am terrified of what may come of this, but I don't want to linger any longer, scraping for answers.
I want to know more and I intend to do just that.

I will dream till I cannot dream anymore.

it is not enough to just walk away
courage-less and cowardly
what happened to bravery?
your divine character of integrity
don't you see, you are not who people make you out to be.
you've masked yourself
speak what is to be spoken.
a glimpse.
a taste
it was given freely
and taken so quickly.
did you not feel?
humility
i was fooled

you built me up on lies
you're courage-less
i am trying to survive

I was built on broken dreams that I have yet to satisfy.
