from the moment we love

 How you love, how you give, and how you suffer is just about the sum of who you are. Everything in life is a subset of one or a combinatorial function of all three. Seek people who love and give generously, who have the strength to suffer without causing damage. (Only strong people are safe people, the measure of strength being not the absence of vulnerability — and “weakness” is just a judgment term for vulnerability — but the ability to carry one’s vulnerability with such self-awareness and valor so as not to harm other lives.) Seek to be such a person.

why is it so unclear sometimes?

inquiry for today~ it’s yours to love…all of it…

and so it is…

It’s just as important for you to hear yourself speak your stories

as it is for others to hear you speak them.
