“Love, after all, is not a performance. It is an unmasking. It is an act of faith.”

“Here, we honor how love interacts with us all. Find togetherness in the sorrows and rage that can lead us to a healing most profound in the collective understanding that we are not alone. As we do this, may we find comfort and permission in other pieces that urge us to celebrate ourselves, melt into grace, and see ourselves for who we truly are.”

“It dawns on me that I deserve a little more.
A little more grace and understanding,
a little more acknowledgment of all that I am.
A little more of the good things.
I have already given myself enough of everything else.”

“You see, I am a great tragedy of love really. Once consumed of an extraordinary person, that is to say, I was once consumed extraordinarily. True love has both destroyed and contained me.”
