Gillian Flynn, Dark Places

Somewhere, someone is falling in love with a person who loves them back after a whole winter of being alone and broken. It is the earth’s magic to make people trust in the warmth of love again.

Juansen Dizon

-Benedict Smith, I wish I wrote the way I thought

— Trista Mateer, “Peaches”

Some days healing is for laughter, playfulness, and friends. Some days healing is for silence, rest and solitude. Some days healing is for accepting that getting better doesn’t always look the same, and that’s okay.

Juansen Dizon

My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July.

Rick Bass: The Wild Marsh: Four Seasons at Home in Montana

The beautiful thing about love is that it makes you better even when everything in your life seems to be getting worse. It makes you smile even when you don’t have any reason to be happy at all except for the feeling that someone is there for you in the coldest winters and the harshest falls. Love is beautiful because it makes you believe that even when you are in darkness, there’s always this choice to pay attention to the stars.

Juansen Dizon

Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.

— Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

- Jamie Anderson

SWEET SCENT

You are the fragrance that caresses my nights and the cold winters.

Well, I'm not afraid of winter anymore with your caresses and kisses, my sheets today they become dreamy.

You are the fragrance that adorns the structure of my body well your sweet aroma surrounds me between hugs and kisses and I feel so happy to have you at all times.

DULCE AROMA

Eres la fragancia que acaricia mis noches y los fríos inviernos.

Pues ya no le temo al invierno con tus caricias y besos, mis sábanas hoy se vuelven de ensueño.

Eres la fragancia que engalana la estructura de mi cuerpo pues tu dulce aroma me envuelve entre abrazos y besos y yo me siento tan dichoso de tenerte en todo momento.

"Loving me isn't easy, I have sharp edges, I have missing parts."

— Donte Collins

I love three languages of the universe: music, love and silence.

- Qasim Chauhan

Healing is listening to the same songs we shared together and learning that I am whole enough to still love them for my own happiness.

Juansen Dizon, Restoration

As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around.

— Haruki Murakami

Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.
