Silence rides shotgun wherever hate goes. - Andrea Gibson

You can stand on the cliff of my heart and shout nothing but ‘ugly’ through me. I promise all I will echo back is ‘Beauty, beauty, you have always been beauty

What I know about living is that the pain is never just ours. Every time I hurt I know the wound is an echo, so I keep listening for the moment the grief becomes a window, when I can see what I couldn't see before.

"I thought, "The flowers, save the flowers..."

I never thought for a second
we wouldn't save the people"
