  4. I love it. That you know without a doubt that these are your dreams. That you want to live so fully. That you take the time to search your heart and care for yourself in this way. It's a beautiful list.

I look at you and see all the ways a soul can bruise, and I wish I could sink my hands into your flesh and light lanterns along your spine so you know there's nothing but light when I see you. :: Shinji Moon
