“The greatest lie
he ever told
was that she needed him
to be happy”
Atticus
“The greatest lie
he ever told
was that she needed him
to be happy”
Atticus
“Don’t hide from heartbreak
for it will show you more truth
than a thousand happy days
live in it, soak in it
and let it evolve you
into your next and greater form”
Atticus
“Have you ever had a feeling
there’s more to you
than the person
everybody else sees
a person hidden deep within
the very fabric of your soul
you must pull that thread
unravel the truth of you
and wake within yourself
that great giant
you already know
you can be”
Atticus
“The truth about magic
lies in the very
perfect fading wish
of every shooting star”
Atticus
“When I first met you
I remembered you
from a hundred different dreams
and there you were
for me to love
all over again
for the very first time”
Atticus
“I had the aching feeling I always got
when I stayed in a place too long
my bones became restless beneath my skin
like I’d forgotten how to run
I longed only for the great new
and so,
I packed my bags and stepped out onward
toward the dusty roads
of tomorrow
and the never been”
Atticus
“Cheer up, beautiful
you’ll be in love again
and probably sooner
than you’re ready”
Atticus
“To be honest
you scare me
I’m terrified of letting you in
of seeing myself
more clearly through your eyes
wondering if I’m good enough
or if one day I’ll lose you
but the truth is
not having you at all
scares me more
than all the other
truths of love
and that thought
makes me brave”
Atticus
“We were all born to live
born to love
millions of years
perfecting the art of it,
and yet still,
somehow,
it comes so unnaturally
to most of us”
Atticus
“Somewhere
sitting on a cloud
deep in the sky
there is a secret list
written by an angel
that holds
all the wonderful moments
your life
has yet to come”
Atticus
“Your scars
are not your shame
he said
they are your story,
and I love stories”
Atticus
“When given a choice
between you and them
choose you
It’s better to be whole and alone
than broken at their feet”
Atticus
