Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.

I love unmade beds. I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love the way people look when they first wake up and they’ve forgotten their surroundings. I love the gasp people take when their favorite character dies. I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams. Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words.

We are hated because our government denies these things in Third World countries whose resources are coveted by our multinational corporations.

Make no mistake, those who write long books have nothing to say. Of course those who write short books have even less to say.
Sticking around here won’t get you anywhere
