10 Things I know to be true:

1. Love is the one superpower we all posses.
2. There is beauty all around us, in the small and big things. It is up to us to chose to see it.
3. Laughter is the best medicine, even if you are the only one laughing. 
4. Chocolate chip cookies are good anytime--day or night.
5. No one is perfect. We all have secrets.
6. Reality TV is the most ironic thing on television. 
7. Family and friends both keep us sane and drive us insane.
8. Words aren't always necessary.
9. You are not your past or your last bad choice; you are your next choice and your future.
10. Patience is a virtue, but sometimes you lose track of it. 

Cold Winter Days

Chilly Winter Days

Crackpot Heart

I walked away with a broken heart

never once questioning the how

how you found a way to walk away

how I never saw it coming

how little it actually meant

when you told me you were sorry

my heart cracked

leaving me feeling like a broken pot

not able to hold the flood in

I cried over you for days

now I don’t know why

it’s not like you deserved such

outpouring of emotions

now my heart is mended

ready for love again

with you no longer

taking up residence in my mind

stealing room that is not yours to have

Finally Real

This is the slow down

The heart break

And the awakening

This is me learning

Seeing what is real

For the first time

Riding Home

We rode through the desert

hands clutching the reins

trying to force to horses

to go where we wanted

Our hearts beat rapidly in our chests

from constant fear of the

invisible enemy following close behind

chasing us to take our lives

Every ten seconds looking back

trying to catch a glimpse

but failing every single time

the fear building in our chests

In between backwards glances

we scan the horizon

trying to catch a glimpse of life ahead

in this never-ending desert

In stolen glances we ask each other

will we live or will we die

will we make it home

or will we die before we reach there

Then in the distance we see a light...
