We are all just a car crash, a diagnosis, an unexpected phone call, a newfound love, or a broken heart away from becoming a completely different person. How beautifully fragile are we that so many things can take but a moment to alter who we are for forever? -@SamuelDeckerT

You can stand there polished, everything in place, life going great, a moment in time where even your reflection looks like it finally figured things out, and it still won’t matter to them. they’ll find a flaw, or invent one, or just feel nothing for you at all and they'll ...

The one who was always meant for you doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t wound you and call it confusion, doesn't leave you twisting in the winds of uncertainty. They stay. They care. It’s that simple, and that rare. -Samuel Decker Thompson #poetry

I haven't learned much in this life, but one thing I do know is they've been lying to you, that pain in your heart won't ever subside, they tell you it'll get better with time, but the truth is It'll just find a better place to hide. -Samuel Decker Thompson #poetry

I still expect to find you somewhere in my future, to feel that quiet spark when our eyes first meet. From that moment on, I know I will care about everything you are doing, and everything you will ever do. I'll be fascinated simply watching you move through the world.

You need not know the ending to begin the story. The pages will turn without your permission, softly, like wind through an open door. There is a quiet grace in not knowing, in trusting what has not yet arrived, in believing that ...

As of Thanksgiving night it's been a year, the toughest year of my life. I've tried to do everything right, to be there for my kids everyday, to better myself, to let my actions speak louder than the lies, and to accept that it was never real, that her love was just a mirage

Emotional safety changes the landscape of love, It isn’t love that saves you; it’s safety. It’s knowing anger won’t turn into cruelty, It’s hearing their words and believing them, because they match what they do. When they're steady… not perfect… but real. You start to ...

... and the worst part is, if we are ever going to find someone worthwhile, we have to keep allowing ourselves to be vulnerable time and time again, because that's the only way to really connect with someone, that's the only way love can finally win. -Samuel Decker Thompson

One thing you need to learn is that there’s people in this world who just can’t love. They crave for it, they obsess over finding it, they lust after that initial spark, but then, when it's within their grasp, they don’t know what to do with it, they don't know how to ...

time has a strange way of turning pain into a compass. After the ache fades you start to see the pattern, every wound was a direction, every ending, a quiet shove forward pointing you somewhere softer, toward someone who won’t mistake your kindness for weakness. And maybe ...

I would happily endure all the trauma I've been through for a thousand lifetimes more, just to know It was always leading me to you. -Samuel Decker Thompson

@SarahIronside6 A white male on the left though, sooooo???

Yet ANOTHER white male committing an act of terrorism in the United States shooting detainees at a Dallas ICE facility. I think it's time we address the white male violence problem we have in this country.

Treat love as if it is all you believe in.

I'm happy to see her doing just fine, and even thriving without me, I believe if you truly cared about someone, then that's where your mindset should be.
