And, we only remember good people and God when it is convenient for us, and take them for granted because their doors are always open - only to chase after closed doors and personalities void of substance and truth.”

Charlotte Eriksson
“Sweet girl, maybe close the world off and look at him for an hour
or two.
This is your fairy.
It ain鈥檛 perfect and it ain鈥檛 honey sweet with roses on the bed.
It鈥檚 real and raw and ugly at times. But this is your love.
Don鈥檛 throw it away searching for someone else鈥檚 love. Don鈥檛 be greedy. Instead, shelter it. Protect it. Capture every second of easy, pull through every storm of hardship. And when you can, look at him, lying next to you, trusting you not to harm him. Trusting you not to go.
Be someone鈥檚 someone for someone.
Be that someone for him.”
Charlotte Eriksson
