A Faded Love
Victory is not about overcoming fear and sadness and loneliness,It’s learning the part it plays in your life.It’s letting it happen and seeing it for what it is, calling it out,And by revealing it, you rob it of power.Victory is not being destroyed when an emotion comes your way.Victory is to feel the whole spectrum of feelings and not be overtaken.

Five Poets to Read Before You Die
Those of you who are not students of literature may never find yourselves reading poetry. This is, of course, a huge mistake. In the right hands, words take on a life and soul of their own, becoming fertile ground for ideas and imaginations. In a world where desire and conflict interact so disastrously, it is paramount that we do not sacrifice art in favour of systematising our problems because if we do not understand our world we can bring no solutions. The poets in this list are and have been huge figures in understanding the world around us and so to read them is to make both your understanding of your world and your life as a whole more complete. It is by no means a complete list, and certainly, there are hundreds of poets to read that will change your life, but this is a good start.
