The world is broken. Not because it was designed as such, But because it holds the broken. No, I cannot lie and say I am unbroken. We all are in one way or another. Selfish here. Jealous there. Angry with the universe. Inborn hatred. And yet we expect the world be better. Like our actions…

I told you that your shadow holds more colors than you know. They scream of your victories and failures in kind. You would never know because you never look behind. Choosing instead to wear it as a grand cloak. And oh how magnificent it is. Threaded with all the seasons of life. *** I told…

You have done so well to survive. Grown beautiful in time. But I know you are afraid. It has taken so much effort to get here. As beautiful as you are, it was not easy. Only God knows what your future holds, but you believe you do. *** You were not meant to be plucked…
