traveling mementos.

"bodies
are less like temples
and more like biographies
they carry all the broken hearts, false hopes and cobwebs
neatly mapped in your veins and tendons,
a whole history
tucked away in the spaces in between
your ribs and collarbones."

"one of the hardest lessons i had to learn was that i was going to need a lot of help, and for a long time. (even this morning). what saved me was that i found gentle, loyal and hilarious companions, which is at the heart of meaning- maybe we don't find a lot of answers to life's tougher questions, but if we find a few true friends, that's even better. they help you see who you truly are, which is not always the loveliest possible version of yourself, but then comes the greatest miracle of all - they still love you."

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."

(- Marcus Aurelius)

"deep inside. she knew who she was. and that person was smart and kind and often even funny. but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth. and she found herself saying the wrong thing or more often. nothing at all."
