A Poem by Brigid Cooley

If you want to fly, all you need is a car, a sunroof, and a boy who drives carefully when you are around.

Selfish prayers are still prayers; they count for something.

It's okay to miss people you're not supposed to.

Rest. It is one of the most important things you can give yourself.

Hugging is oftentimes better than kissing. I think that has something to do with the fact that, when you hug, hearts get pressed up against each other and breathing patterns tend to sync up.

The way the crinkles by his eyes become extra prominent when he smiles at me; that is one of the most beautiful things that God created.

The healthiest thing on the Jim's menu are long conversations about jumbled up hearts and misunderstood motivations.

There is no such thing as loving too much.

In fact, loving too little is the most dangerous thing you can do.

I am so afraid of coming on too strong that I sometimes hold back more than I should.

As long as there are stars in the sky and songs to be listened to, there will continue to be reasons to be happy.
