A few things I’ve learned recently and I want to share them with you :

-That there are doors in forms of people, words, stories, eyes, those perfect chords within that perfect piece of music that strike in a prompt second of “yes.” Doors everywhere opening into other sides that cannot be reached, unless you step up, and open them. Doors as openings into new worlds within this lifetime.

-Nothing lasts. But it doesn’t really end either.

-You need to write while the fire burns hot. Not after.

-If you have to convince yourself of something, the (right) answer is likely the opposite, and yes, this of course means the best direction will not usually be easy or logical or part of the original plan. Do the more difficult, more primal, more beautifully terrifying thing.

-Meaning and purpose don’t come in the forms of great accomplishments or undertakings. Rather, they reveal themselves on some randomly idle weekday morning when you realize how much you love someone or that you’re doing all you can with what you can carry in the place you are with the time you have with what you care about.

-Laughter and hope are often the same.

-Aloneness won’t necessarily equate to freedom.

-You need to lose yourself sometimes or often. Losing yourself provides mirrors where you can see it all clear afterward, true as it’s ever been and etched in fine detail across fog-free glass.

-How do you begin anything? From exactly where you are. With simply this breath.

-That you should (always) gaze up at the seas of stars opening our nights and remember again and again that you’re in an awesomely vast and wild universe where nearly anything can happen, and at any given time.
