I wrote this in the sand this morning, not realizing it was Dr. Seuss’ birthday today.

It’s almost as if his words were in the back of my mind.

happy birthday, dr. seuss.

it’s one week until february 14th. valentine or not, just remember that

you are love,

and love is you.

those limits you have in your head...

…are exactly that.

just in your mind.

imaginary.

you are unbounded, undefined, without limit.

no limits. no boundaries. no strings. just endless sky. ...

no limits. no boundaries. no strings.

just endless sky. unlimited reach.

nothing is the be all end all.

so you missed it. the party of the century. the trip of a lifetime. the chance to meet your idol.

so you didn’t get it. the acceptance letter. the leading role. the guy/girl who you pine for.

so you aimed and you missed.

so what?

nothing is the be all end all. nothing is do or die. nothing is your one shot at happiness.

there will be another chance soon. and another. and another. and another.

and one day, one of those chances will land smack in the middle of that bullseye you want to reach.

perfectly and gloriously in place.

if you could take a boat anywhere in the world, where would you go?

if you could take anyone with you, who would it be?

the survivor

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 20:49:41 -0400

you will survive. the hurt, the pain, the giant walls standing in your way. one day, it will all be no longer. because just as easily as it found its way into your life, it will find its way out. quietly, slowly, unceremoniously. but surely. that I know for certain.

and you’ll wonder how or why this tiny little road bump seemed so big. because it might be bigger than big right now, but you’ll hop on over it. you’ll jump or run or skip or even stumble through. but somehow, you will make it to the other side. you will survive it. all of it. and the next time you look back, this seemingly insurmountable thing will be miles away. and you, my dear, you will be soaring

{one year later. this time, for katie}

I dare you...

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:14:00 -0400

…to do the opposite. if you always say yes, try saying no. if you always distrust, try to believe. if you stay up late, try getting to bed early. if you always sleep in, try rising with the sun. take a new path home, part your hair a different way, talk to someone you’ve never noticed before. you might be surprised by what happens.

{this was the very first “i dare you” I ever wrote, and it might just be the biggest little dare of them all. for more little big dares, click here. xo}

what will you dare to do today?
