I’ll be honest, expressing some of the inner-most truths and vulnerabilities to other humansContinue reading “May.”

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the pointContinue reading “April.”
