Favorite Quote:
"Change is slow, painful. The rewriting of your very emotions, your very thoughts and perceptions. It's hard, and you will feel like giving in. You will, my God, you will. But that's what weeds out the weak, Hilary. The process of change. Because no matter how slow and painful it is, it's something beautiful."

Writing was hard until
I saw the way your eyes weren't just brown.

Because they are honey,
with a dash of chesnut

And they are maple,
sprinkled with chocolate

and they are penny,
gilded in gold

Writing was hard until
I saw the way those eyes looked at me

When our noses touch
and our breaths are short

When you look at me
and I pretend not to notice

and

When I knew that
I was in love
in the simplest of complex ways
