the anticipation of acceptance
the ache for a pounding heart
the comfort in the presence
healing before you start
the parting of full lips
the panting of exhausted lungs
the unspoken feelings expressed every trip
that could never leave my tongue
the peace in the middle of pain
the eye of a hurricane
the edge of going insane
it's like trying to drown rain
the steady thrum of life
the discovery of beauty within
the tugs of pleasure and strife
a fine layer of moisture on skin
the intoxication
the desire
the dread
the pulse in my ears
the ache in my head
a beauty that cannot fully be said

"To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about pride and it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up."
"Don't waste time telling people what you are doing or what you are going to do. Results have a way of informing the world."

"Some music needs air. Roll your window down."

"Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them."
~Jennifer James
