“We’re like dandelions. For each seed that flies away, we bare the mark of what we have lost. Never knowing if we’re rooted or ...simply adrift.

We keep on saying goodbye. Not knowing if what departs with our words will contain a bit more of us than what has stayed. Though in the end, we are as much the things we carry, as the things we’ve left behind...

We’re destined to start over. Destined to split and grow back.”
