Simple Delights

The little things seem to please me more than ever before.  The sun peeking through the thick grey clouds here in Blackpool, a notification on my phone of a text message from mom back in Canada, a mention of my sweet brother - all of these things bring such a great joy to my heart that it makes me wonder how I could have ever overlooked them before.

"You don't ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life.  It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - you don't have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small.  It's one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change.  But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go."

The Wild and The Tame

"What should I do about the wild and the tame?  The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home.  I want to be held.  I don't want you to come too close.  I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights.  I don't want to tell you where I am.  I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me.  

I want to be with you."
