There’s room in a starlit hotel for the people you miss tonight. (I didn’t want to be good, I just wanted to be here.) So you touch the star that only you can touch and cause the fuss t...

It’s ok to not what to do what you always do. It’s ok to want to be anyone else but you. It’s ok to forget why you started in the first place. It’s ok to not obey the rules you�...

Some of us fight wars you will never see against enemies you will never know and if we win, we are not given medals. We are given the chance to fight tomorrow.

I no longer fight my pain or my frustration or my anger. I sit with it. I put my arm around it. And I say, “There you are old friend. What do you need to tell me today?” And I le...
