“THE REFLECTION IN SHOP WINDOWS
If you live in your head for too long, you run the risk of becoming your own secret.”

“THE TRAIN HIT ME AND I DIDN’T FEEL IT
You shouldn’t fall asleep on your heart. It’ll go numb.”
-
“THE WAVES PUT YOU TO SLEEP
I love you like I love the sea. And I’m ok with drowning.”
-
“THE GRAND DISTRACTION
And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!”
And each day, it’s up to you, to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.”

“Love doesn’t fade. It just changes as it grows. It would be boring if it didn’t. There is no truly “right” way of writing, painting, being or thinking, only things which have happened before.”

“Wisdom does not come from age, wisdom comes from doing things.”

“THE TREES GROW QUIETLY
The things you struggle with today are things you choose to struggle with.
Because you believe that what you want to accomplish, is worth struggling for.”

I did not expect this book to be so good. An excerpt:
THE LIGHT FROM FROZEN GRAVES
“But I just want to stop feeling.”
“As far as I can tell, there’s only one way to stop feeling and that’s to die.”
“That seems a bit drastic.”
“It is drastic. Perhaps the most drastic thing there is. There are other ways to kill feelings, like drinking a lot or working hard, constantly, pushing those around you as far away as possible until there’s no way for you to reach out to them but ultimately, the only way to completely stop feeling, forever, is to die.”
“I’m not sure I’m ready for that.”
“Good. You’ll be a better person for it.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that the most interesting, amazing people I’ve ever met, the ones who influenced and shaped the universe itself, are the ones that felt too much but lived through it.”
“That sounds hard.”
“It is. It involves living.”

Ich bin traurig, weil es zu Ende ist und ich meine es ernst. ich könnte heute weinen, und morgen. Jeder soll es lesen, weil er es für dich geschrieben hat ! :)

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
A nice selection of poetry, although some were a bit samey after a while. I loved the addition of having photography in it!
