What do I believe in?


I believe in smiling at strangers. 

I believe in giving back, in being chaotic, and crooked, and compassionate. 
I believe in stars, and the way some thousand year old dust of theirs is sitting inside your chest right now. 
I believe in luck, and I believe in something much more marvellous than outside the stretch of my own understanding. 

I believe in the sand beneath my toes and that hot summer heat. 

I believe in sun burns, and getting your hands dirty. 

I believe in staying up all night talking to anyone who means anything to you. 

I believe in potential. 

I believe in fireworks in the bottom of a waterlogged soul. 

I believe in love, wonder, and magic at first sight, and after that sight, and ever and ever sight. At every single god damn sight. 

I believe in believing. 

I believe in reason and lack of it. I believe in logic and sanity, and everything that undermines it. 

I believe in travel and photography. 

I believe that if something is meant to happen, it will happen at the right time, place, and right person. 

I believe in music and the strong visceral connection we have to it, the way that it can take you back to a place, a person, or even that special moment that may have changed your life. 

I believe in things with and without words. 

I believe that we underestimate the weight of our own words. 

I believe in second chances, and that there is someone out there for everyone. 

I believe that somewhere out there, is the other half of each and every one of our souls, and that when you feel that emptiness you can never fill, or don't know how to, that is what you're longing for. 

I believe that one of our many purposes in life is to find our other half. Life is supposed to be an adventure, isn't it? 

I believe I spent too much time writing my beliefs, as a matter of fact. 

I believe in a love that isn't jealous or selfish. 

I believe in things this world tells me are foolish, and I believe in them passionately and without apologies. 

I believe that science can only tell me how, and history can only tell me when, but neither can tell me why. 

I believe in being limitless and fascinated.

That's what I believe in.
