My Reasons for Writing

I write because words are powerful and life altering. With a certain use of words, inspiration can spark from them, and thought- evoking questions and thoughts will arise and linger.
I write because there are too many closed- minds in this world, and it is my dream to open those minds. I also write for myself, for self- expression.
I want my poems to wash over people and make them feel something because it held a personal meaning to them. And I hope that when days are bland, that my poems, my words can brighten them.

Favorite Quotes

Things change and friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.

- Stephen Chbosky

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment, and making the best of it, withough knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambuity.

- Gilda Radner

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that the only tragedy is to allow a part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness.

- Gilda Radner

About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them. And some won't like you at all.

- Rita Mae Brown

You are a marvel. You are unique. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything

- Pablo Casals

I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library

- Jorge Borges

We all have to learn to accept people for who they are and not who we want them to be.

- Terry McMillan

The earth is speaking to us, but we can't hear because all the racket our senses are making. Sometimes we need to erase them, erase our senses. Then- maybe- the earth will touch us. The universe will speak. The stars will whisper.

-Jerry Spinelli, "Stargirl"

We wanted to define her, to wrap her up as we did each other, but we could not seem to get past "weird" and "strange" and "goofy". Her ways knocked us off balance.

-Jerry Spinelli, "Stargirl"

You're cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you're stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It's now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but now you'll never know.

-Jerry Spinelli, "Love,Stargirl"

We long to be found, hoping our searchers have not given up and gone home.

-Jerry Spinelli, "Love, Stargirl"

"I'll still be missing you as much as ever. I'll still smile at the memory of you. I'll still be- Okay, I'll say it again- loving you, but I won't abandon myself for you. I cannot be faithful to you without being faithful to myself."

-Jerry Spinelli, "Love, Stargirl"
