The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic. — Anais Nin. French-born American author (1903–1977)
Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
