Love is a state that I would like to exist in continuously.
be mindful of the prayers you send pray hard but pray with care for the tears you are crying now are just your answered prayers letters of light we scale merrily, move mysteriously around so that when you think you're climbing up, man, in fact you're climbing down
The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.
Stars have their moments then they die.
