she didn’t giggle wildly and blush when she saw him
and she didn’t chalk his name on trees
or write it on the walls of the bridge.
she just simply lived with his face in her heart."

of the cup without the outside

the inside and outside go together. they're one."

in all her parts things grow
between her eyes

upon her nose
around her toes
people strrretch to get closer
bending,
twisting,
turning,

they come running from miles
with baskets in hand
catching the flecks of the
light she sheds
they grow in numbers around her
she is a root
so
bold
her body so extravagant
her mind, our gold
she is,
the cat's meow.

"it should never be about competition
although sometimes its competition
that inspires us the most"




"this life is what you make it. no matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. but the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess up. girls will be your friends, they'll act like it anyway. but just remember, some come, some go. the ones that stay with you through everything- they're your true best friends. don't let go of them. also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. as for lovers, well, they come and go too. and babe, i hate to say it, most of them, actually pretty much all of them, are going to break you heart. but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. you'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always always always believe in yourself, because if you don't then who will, sweetie? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing & there's so much to smile about"
