Star of Wonder

Star of wonder in the Heavens, wonder what you want of me. Should I follow you tonight? I am just a lowly shepherd watching from a distant hill. Why do you appear to me? In the morning they'll come looking for the shepherd on the hill. What would make her leave her flock for surely she must love them still? Star of wonder in the Heavens, are you just a shining star or should I follow you tonight? Star of wonder, shining bright.


Tomorrow morning I will wake up and go outside and play with my dog and my brother and enjoy the snow the sky laid on the ground. When I go back to school, I will focus on my work and enjoy the beauty of the weather after. When Spring comes, I will wake up early and take walks while the sun rises in the morning.

hm.

It's almost weird, how good it feels to talk to old friends, especially after an extended period of stressful times.

It's funny.

"It's funny, man, you know, we love music so much and we jam together and that's how we learn a lot of things, and then we all go to music school and we learn more things, but we forget to jam, you know?"

oo-wee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly

I'm trying something new today.
Smile at everybody. The worst they can do is not smile back, but for real, who frowns when they're smiled at?
Surround yourself with things and people that make you happy. If something in your life brings you down, shake it off and out of your life.
Talk to strangers, be friendly with acquaintances. Kindness goes farther than you'd think.
There is nothing in the world that Love can't reverse.

everything is illuminated.

All people are beautiful.
There's so much more to us.
If not you, then who?
Go for the soul.
We are dynamic individuals, we are unique.
Don't hide who you are.
Nobody is invisible.
You should be proud of who you are.
Thank you for being authentic.
Things are gonna get hard.
We are people from all walks of life.
You don't have to mask when you come home.

There is nothing that loving and caring for people can't reverse.

You Will Find Love.

Morning is such a beautiful time of day, and place, and feeling, and state of mind, and character. I should not sleep through it so often.


Moonlight will fall,
Winter will end.
Harvest will come,
Your heart will mend.
Goodmorning, goodmorning.
You will find love.
Goodmorning.

There's a Double Rainbow in My Backyard.

Apparently, I have a well of expression that I've been sleeping through in the early mornings. I've discovered a bit of creativity that rises with the sun, and I think I'm going to give my inner nocturnal creature a break and start some new habits, like rising with the sun and this intriguing newfound creativity. This might all just be a delusion I'm telling myself because I want to hear it, though, because I haven't slept yet tonight. Too much thinking, on my part, about the little trivial things, and not so much about the whole, that has kept me up tonight. Wide awake and staring at the glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling, I've given each synthetic constellation a name and an origin. Though they are synthetic, they pierce through the night in my room much like the real sky of stars do outside, piercing through the darkness of the night. The sun came up this morning and I watched it turn sections of my room a golden orange color through my window. I saw the shadow of the tree outside move across a wall and the creative juices started flowing, and I felt okay for the first time all night.

Very Much.

i hope you know you're not the only one who feels the way you feel. You are not the only one who struggles. You are not the only one with questions. You are not crazy. You deserve to be heard, to be known. You deserve love.


You deserve love.

You deserve a place that feels like home. You deserve some hands to hold. Hands to pull you past the broken moments, hands to catch you when you fall. Eyes to see you. To say you're there, that you exist, that you change a room, that your presence is significant. Ears to hear you - hear your stories, hear you laugh. Ears to hear your questions and to say they matter.

Your questions matter.

Maybe call a friend today or invite someone to coffee. Tell someone they matter or tell someone you could use a conversation. Write a letter or ask someone how they're doing. Like a song too much. Feel the drums or get lost in the chorus. It means that you're alive.

It's good that you're alive. Who else could play your part?

i hope you get to a place, wake to a day, where that feels true. You deserve to know it's true.

To Write Love on Her Arms is a community of people with questions and struggles. It is for broken people and it is led by broken people. Life is heavy and light. Life is both. Beauty and pain, aches and dreams... We are saying that it's okay to talk about those things. We are saying that we need to. We are choosing to believe that stories deserve better endings. That hope is real, that help is real, that people need other people.

You are not alone today. You matter very much.

Peace to you.

times is hard, and things are a'changing.

Look. I know you probably don't want anything to do with me for a while, or ever. I know the way I reacted to you was immature and rude. I wish you'd even just acknowledge my apology. You don't have to accept it, I know, I just want you to acknowledge that I know I messed up and I wish I could take it back. I didn't mean to push you, I didn't mean to come on too strong, I didn't mean to scare you. I just got so excited that there was finally somebody else who gets it in my life, and I didn't control that excitement very well. I've said a lot of things I haven't meant, I've messed up a lot, I've been really frustrated trying to say things the right way because I don't want to mess up anymore. I know you need space and I know you have all these things you want to do for yourself, by yourself, on your own, and I don't want to be in your way. And I know you won't let me get in your way. I really, really would like you to be in my life, because you've colored me in so many new shades just within this short time. If that's even remotely related to anything in your head, I'd like to try again. I know a person only gets so many chances.

a more serious song

I am a sunshine, green grass, barefoot kind of girl.
I am an open windows, wind in my soul, music blasting kind of spirit.
I am a water in my thin place, heavy and light, quiet and loud kind of pilgrim.
I am a passion in my blood, energy in my aura, fire in my heart kind of musician.
I am a sunrise over water, dance in the rain, coffee and tea kind of soul.
I am slowly un-convincing myself that love is un-real.
I am remembering that love is what moves me.
Remembering that love wins.

i was on a walk.

I am not good people.
I am not doing great things.
Not for myself, and not for anybody else.
I'm sorry I'm not good people.
I'm working on it.
You can only stand it for so long.
I get that.

I get it.

I hear you laugh, I heard you sing.

"The Second Secret: Don't die with your music still in you. Find your passion. Your passion is what stirs your soul and makes you feel like you're totally in harmony with why you showed up here in the first place." -Dr. Wayne Dyer

bold

if you are afraid of the dark, i will turn the lights on.

love is the movement.

The vision is the possibility that your best days are ahead.

The vision is the possibility that we're more loved than we'll ever know.

The vision is hope, and hope is real.

You are not alone, and this is not the end of your story.



we will be the hopeful.



"I've decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
