Favorite Quote:
I have measured out my life in coffee-spoons (Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T. S. Eliot)


I hope you remember to eat today.
I hope that waking causes you no pain.
I hope you throw the bathroom scale away,
And stop measuring life in loss and gain.
I hope that you say "I love you" tonight,
And I hope you still do come tomorrow.
I hope that you spread your wings and take flight,
And I hope that you out-fly your sorrow.
I hope you remember to treat you well.
I hope you write yourself a love letter.
I hope that by the sunrise, you can tell
That you are strong, and things will get better.
I hope today, you see that you're lovely,
You're good enough, and worth recovery.
