dog heart eye
When you have been with your partner for so many years, they become the glove compartment map that you've worn dog-eared and white-creased, the trail you recogonize so well you could draw it by heart and for this very reason keep it with you on journeys at all times. And yet, when you least expect it, one day you open your eyes and there is an unfamiliar turnoff, a vantage point taht wasn't there before, and you have to stop and wonder if maybe this landmark isn't new at all, but rather something you have missed all along.
love thinking air
This is love, I think. A place where people who have been alone may lock together like hawks and spin in the air, dizzy with surprise at the connection. A place you go willingly, and with wonder
growing-up people parent
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
life change ends
If we don't change the direction we are headed, we will end up where we are going.
pain nice believe
I have always envied people who believe strongly in religion, people who could face a tragedy by praying and know that it would be all right. As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders.
love-you heart people

sad children parent
In the English language there are orphans and widows, but there is no word for the parents who loses a child.

children eye reflection
I ...understand how a parent might hit a child- it's because you can look into their eyes and see a reflection of yourself that you wish you hadn't.
fire helping remember
remember that every fire will burn itself out, even without your help.
karma fate what-you-deserve
Is Fate getting what you deserve, or deserving what you get?
mean secret want
Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.
love names mouths
When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
phones differences numbers
Besides the obvious difference, there was not much distinction between losing a best friend and losing a lover: it was all about intimacy. One moment, you had someone to share your biggest triumphs and fatal flaws with; the next minute, you had to keep them bottled inside. One moment, you'd start to call her to tell her a snippet of news or to vent about your awful day before realizing you did not have that right anymore; the next, you could not remember the digits of her phone number.
