*le sigh...*
if you like eating cheerios for dinner
if you can own up to your mistakes
if you can handle wearing two different colored socks
if, when you find yourself crying over a sappy movie, you want to curl up into my shoulder
if the President of the United States makes you want to gag
if you speak loudly but think about it first
if you love dogs
if you challenge yourself to grow
if you like to write
if you protect your relationships by hiding their secrets
if you like to talk in bed
if you know how to conquer a fear
if you take time out of your day to give of yourself to others
if you like to cook or will let me do it for you
if you still talk to your mom on the phone regularly
if you can make bullshit sound like a prophecy
if you still know love is strong
then i'm interested.
i listen to this blood
breathing roses in my veins
i grow with laughter

"Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves."
