Protesting “Dating”
My thoughts from my personal journal… I’m a hopeful romantic, stuck in a time of instant gratification. No more regrettable walks of shame while being hung over. Just Ubers your Tinder date called thirty minutes into your “Netflix & Chill”. No more courting a lady who caught your eye& captivated your interest. Now it’s “Cuffing”…

Laurelhurst Inspired Thoughts
Curiouser and curiouser… Park Thoughts: Why does she live so curiously of others?

They face the sun & follow it from the east…If positivity were a metaphor for the sun, would heliotropic people be considered more optimistic? Or inspire others to be more so? Hyper accumulative: Pulls from the soil. They absorb anything that can have a…

“Star Dust” was written in my inspirational journal If we are made as the same components as stars…then see my flaws as hydrogen atoms, see my qualities as helium atoms. Scatter me in the darkness to shine the way for the ones I love, and if you truly love me? Then build an observatory, search…

Grow Love
When your heart breaks. When you want to armor up. When you want to erect those walls around your heart. Remember… Love doesn’t hurt. Disappointment hurts. Anger hurts. Loss hurts. Love is… Sunset drives. Deep laughter. Genuine smiles. Love is growth. Growing places, you never knew existed. Plant love. Watch yourself grow.
