We are all just a car crash,
a diagnosis,
an unexpected phone call,
a newfound love,
or a broken heart away from becoming a completely different person.

How beautifully fragile are we that so many things
can take but a moment
to alter
who we are
for forever?

@hovah76 Caitlin avg nearly double her turnovers in assists, stls, and blocked shots though, so when you analyze stats that would make it clear she's not an offensive liability, she's more than making up for the turnovers by dishing the ball out and getting it back on steals and blocks.

@DuckzSzn @wemby ahh, that makes sense. Thanks, it was driving me crazy every couple minutes checking my phone and him not scoring any points towards the end

[Samuel Decker Thompson @SamuelDeckerT]

I had six parlays tonight that missed only one thing, which was @wemby needing to get to 25 pts.
I was out doing something with my kids and couldn't watch the game, can somebody tell me why he didn't score those last 3pts when there was 8 minutes left? Cost me about $600. Injury?

You can stand there polished, everything in place, life going great, a moment in time where even your reflection looks like it finally figured things out,
and it still won’t matter to them. they’ll find a flaw, or invent one, or just feel nothing for you at all and they'll ...

The one who was always meant for you doesn’t hesitate,
doesn’t wound you and call it confusion,
doesn't leave you twisting in the winds of uncertainty.
They stay. They care.
It’s that simple,
and that rare.

I haven't learned much in this life,
but one thing I do know is they've been lying to you,
that pain in your heart won't ever subside,
they tell you it'll get better with time,
but the truth is
It'll just find
a better place
to hide.

I still expect to find you somewhere in my future,
to feel that quiet spark when our eyes first meet.
From that moment on, I know I will care about everything you are doing,
and everything you will ever do.
I'll be fascinated simply watching you move through the world.

[Samuel Decker Thompson @SamuelDeckerT]

You need not know the ending to begin the story.
The pages will turn without your permission,
softly, like wind through an open door.
There is a quiet grace in not knowing,
in trusting what has not yet arrived,
in believing that ...

As of Thanksgiving night it's been a year, the toughest year of my life.
I've tried to do everything right, to be there for my kids everyday, to better myself, to let my actions speak louder than the lies, and to accept that it was never real,
that her love was just a mirage

[Samuel Decker Thompson @SamuelDeckerT]

Emotional safety changes the landscape of love, It isn’t love that saves you; it’s safety.
It’s knowing anger won’t turn into cruelty, It’s hearing their words and believing them, because they match what they do. When they're steady… not perfect… but real.
You start to ...

[Samuel Decker Thompson @SamuelDeckerT]

... and the worst part is,
if we are ever going to find someone worthwhile,
we have to keep allowing ourselves to be vulnerable time and time again,
because that's the only way to really connect with someone,
that's the only way love can finally win.

One thing you need to learn is that there’s people in this world who just can’t love.
They crave for it,
they obsess over finding it,
they lust after that initial spark,
but then, when it's within their grasp,
they don’t know what to do with it, they don't know how to ...
