Words We Never Said

You never spoke a word,

But I heard words nonetheless.

Worthless

Unwanted

Useless

No Good

Unloved

Go Away

Go Away

GO AWAY!

And so I left.

And I never said a word.

But words you heard nonetheless.

Worthless

Unwanted

Useless

No Good

Unloved

Go Away

Go Away

GO AWAY!

Until, one day, you left.

If only we had said the words. . .

The real words left unsaid.

Precious

Wanted

Needed

Perfect

Loved

Stay

Stay

The Best Kind of Roadtrip

“Switzerland” by Robin Halioua

 “I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5,000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Italy… and then I did Spain and France by myself.”

~ Michael Fassbender

The Real Family Feud

My parents only had one argument in forty-five years. It lasted forty-three years.

Real Family

“We don’t have to have blood relations in order to be brothers and sisters. Flesh and blood, those are just things that we’re made of. In a real family, what matters is our hearts. We care, show concern and love. Anyone can be family too.” 

**1% of Anything

For me, Just my Mom and Myself

“All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree-I don’t understand me very much. And I don’t need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing.”

**Andrea Corr

For Curfew-Complaining Teens. . .

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don’t come home at night.

To be a True Father

“Any man can father a child; but not all men can actually be their child’s Father.”

“As a child, my family’s menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.”
