Burn, baby, burn


My thoughts for you:

I fear if you move too slowly you'll get so caught up in the details of your mindless existence that you will never have a chance to experience the substantial, spontaneous, and raw emotion that rests at your feet. Moving so slow you will miss out on the reality of your innate human potential and your light will never fully shine, my dear.

I know I would rather shine bright and burn out, than to slowly fade away.

I ask you to take a chance with me. Place yourself outside of your comfort zone. Stay here with me, fall into me, live for this breath that we share, and do what it is that scares you with grace and simplicity. Go out into the world and live with passion and zest. This is it. This is all we will ever be, and this is all we will ever have. Everything lies within this moment. Let the past go.


“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” Jack London

With eternal love,
