If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making and struggle, lonely and confused.

In fact, throwing in our lot with others may be a very good way of coping with the disappointments of choice. Sheena Iyengar
lonely hurt falling-in-love
I’m not the only kid who grew up this way. Surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme about sticks and stones.

That we’d never meet someone to make us feel like the sun was something they built for us in their tool shed. So broken heart strings bled the blues as we tried to empty ourselves so we would feel nothing. Don’t tell me that hurts less than a broken bone. Shane Koyczan
