What My First Love Taught Me

By BRONZE
Salmon, Idaho

My skin flares up in pinpricks, a wave of goosebumps I can taste the nostalgia It's so real, I can almost reach out Run my fingers underneath it Like water from a faucet...

Favorite Quote:
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost." "I know that life is busy and hard, and that there’s a crushing pressure to just settle down and get a real job and khaki pants and a haircut. But don’t. Please don’t. Please keep believing that life can be better, brighter, broader, because of the art that you make. Please keep demonstrating the courage that it takes to swim upstream in a world that prefers putting away for retirement to putting pen to paper, that chooses practicality over poetry, that values you more for going to the gym than going to the deepest places in your soul. Please keep making art for people like me, people who need the magic and imagination and honesty of great art to make the day-to-day world a little more bearable. And if, for whatever reason, you’ve stopped– stopped believing in your voice, stopped fighting to find the time–start today. - Shauna Niequist, Cold Tangerines "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." -Nietzsche "You were born crying, so die smiling."
