“Give me, for my life,
all lives,
give me all the pain
of everyone,
I’m going to turn it into hope.
Give me
all the joys,
even the most secret,
because otherwise
how will these things be known?
I have to tell them,
give me
the labors
of everyday,
for that’s what I sing”
― Pablo Neruda” —(via journalofanobody)

Been reaching for my baby
Close-hearted with my darling
I’ll be holding you tight, let you sleep through the night
I will be there, I promise to take good care of you
Been reaching for my baby
Close-hearted with my darling
I’ll be holding you tight, let you sleep through the night
Let the wind blow; we will be safe, I know
I will be there, I promise to take care of you
I will be there, I promise to take care of you
“I would sit at my mother’s feet watching her drink coffee and smoke cigarettes with a book on her lap. Her absorption intrigued me. Though not yet in nursery school, I liked to look at her books, feel their paper, and lift the tissues from the frontispieces. I wanted to know what was in them, what captured her attention so deeply. When my mother discovered that I had hidden her crimson copy of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs beneath my pillow, with hopes of absorbing its meaning, she sat down and began the laborious process of teaching me to read.”
—Patti Smith, Just Kids (via bibliophibious)
“Love ain’t a big thing, it’s a million little small things.”

(via forkeeper)
I love every little thing that makes you who you are.
I don't fear...
I don’t fear love… I fear rejection.
I don’t fear dying… I fear where I may go when I die.
I don’t fear losing… i fear what people will say about me when I lose.
I don’t fear infinity… I fear that I may never find it.
I don’t fear monsters… I fear that I may become one.
