May Want Deserve

More From Douglas Horton

Fraught, adj. does every “i love you” deserve an “i love you too”? does every kiss deserve a kiss back? does every night deserve to be spent on a lover? if the answer to any of these is “no,” what do we do?
Love You Kissing Night
Gabby giffords deserves a vote. the families of newtown deserve a vote. the families of aurora deserve a vote. the families of oak creek, and tucson, and blacksburg, and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence - they deserve a simple vote.
Gun Simple Community
Believing you are worthy of love means that you believe i deserve to be treated well - with respect and dignity. i deserve to be cherished and adored by someone. i am worthy of an intimate and fulfilling relationship. i won't settle for less than i deserve. i will do whatever it takes to create that for myself.
Believe Mean Dignity
If you find a girl who reads, keeps her close. when you find her up at 2 am clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea (coffee) and hold her. you may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. she'll talk as if the characters in the book are real because, for a while, they always are. date a girl who reads because you deserve it. you deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable.
Girl Couple Real
All i know is that i've wasted all these years looking for something, a sort of trophy i'd get only if i really, really did enough to deserve it. but i don't want it anymore, i want something else now, something warm and sheltering, something i can turn to, regardless of what i do, regardless of who i become. something that will just be there, always, like tomorrow's sky. that's what i want now, and i think it's what you should want too. but it will be too late soon. we'll become too set to change. if we don't take our chance now, another may never come for either of us.
Change Thinking Years
O lord, may i never want to look good. o jesus, may i always read it all: out loud and the very way it should be. may i never look at the other findings until i have come to my own true conclusions: may i care for the least of the young: and become aware of the one poem that each may have written; may i be aware of what each thing is, delighted with form, and wary of the false comparison; may i never use the word "brilliant."

A cannonball travels only two thousand miles an hour; light travels two hundred thousand miles a second. such is the superiority of jesus christ over napoleon.
Jesus Light Two
Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
