The biggest battles are within,
In a place where no one knows them
the way we do,
Or sees them
the way we do.

And in that place,
Where the stars don’t align,
We must find solace in accepting
That all things that bring happiness
Bring with them an equal dose of pain.

"You remind me of butterflies;
In gardens of laughter, you take flight"

-

"A life void of an urge to escape.
A life lived true to God and to oneself.
A life on one's terms and preferences.
This is a well lived life."

-

You're not tired.
You're only awakening.

-

"An endeavour
without purpose
is vain."

-

From a distance,
people appear flawless.
So let's stay far apart,
for in separation,
we'll be the most beautiful,
yet worlds apart.

-

"Perception is not reality
and therefore can't be trusted.
This unfortunate truth is disheartening."

-

"Beware the allure of
perfect illusions.
Embrace the truth of reality."

-

"Be wary of the entrance
If you can't see the exit."

-

"In the game of chess as in real life,
short term sacrifices are made
for long term rewards
even if it means losing
the most valued treasure - the Queen."
