Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.

thanks to this gal, i think i may have found my new favorite blog. for a quick perusal of the first few pages of posts rendered the aforementioned quotes. and though i have no idea who andrea or shana (which i really hope she pronounces just like my own name, she’s just confused on the spelling), i am very much a fan of what they have to say.
