—Walt Whitman
“May I blush whenever I suffer one hour to pass unimproved. I will rouse up my mind and fix my attention; I will stand collected within myself, and think upon what I read and what I see; I will strive, with all my soul, to be something more than persons who have had less advantages than myself.”
—John Adams
Love before Pride.
Love trumps All else.
Be bold in expressing Love. Do not fear the risk involved, the possible rejection, or the level of vulnerability you place yourself in. Love, and the expression of it are stronger than all of the aforementioned.
If you Love someone, put not your own self before Love. Put aside pride, knowing that your strength lies in the willingness alone.
In this cold, self-indulgent world, people should always know that they are loved regardless of how they respond to it.
Love was a gift to you, as you were made by it, through it, and of it. It is meant to be shared as such, free, flowing.
The worst thing that can come of your expression is that someone will know how you feel about them, or for them. Loved, that’s what they will take with them…and that is why, it is always worth the risk.

“The cricket hummed, with the temperature of the night air. I, in my chair, hummed along with it, finding a voice, low, in the tempo of the chill. Part of me wanted to listen forever, another part wanted to tell the world how glorious it was. Both actions cancelled out the other, and in that, the whole of the world is played.”
