Leave it to a dreamy eyed woman
to soften the heart
of a otherwise frigid man.

[Whitney Barnes @WhitMarieBarnes]

Searching for depth
in a world
addicted to
shallow living....

@Lovandfear Moonbeams grip my collar bones
pulling me into nostalgia's tides
to wade away in memories

[Whitney Barnes @WhitMarieBarnes]

I locked the door
But I left a key
under the mat
hoping you care enough
to look
and let yourself in.
I guess
it's nothing more
than my hopeful heart
longing for
what could've been..

caught up
and human..."

Doomed to be
Forever romantically thirsty
in a world
where everone
is drunk on lust...

[Whitney Barnes @WhitMarieBarnes]

You'll always be
pressed into
my fondest memories
like flower petals
in my favorite books...

@dadmann_walking I'm a single mom of 3 boys. Oldest is 15 and my 11yr old is special needs. It can feel overwhelming at times but as long as you do your best and make all decisions from a place of love then you got this, Man! Sending positive vibes.

Sunrise is still beautiful
even if the only colors you can see right now
are shades of gray.
Please keep looking
until you feel like you again...

Moon beams
grip my collar bones
to pull me into
nostalgia's tides
Leaving me there
to wade away
in memories...

@RichHarris2 Lovey words and lovely view 💗

[Whitney Barnes @WhitMarieBarnes]

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts.
There is something infinitely healing
in the repeated refrains of nature
the assurance that dawn comes after night,
and spring after winter...”

@sarabushway Hiking and drawing/painting. I teach preschool full time and will also spend free time making lesson plans or reading up on new teaching techniques and such.

@ollkorrect0 So far it isn't 10yrs

[Whitney Barnes @WhitMarieBarnes]

@RichHarris2 I'm genuinely worried for my 11yr old son. I teach full time and raise 3 boys alone. We barely get by but I make it work. We depend on his Medicaid for his care. If we lose that, there is no way I can afford his medications and specialists on my own.

[Whitney Barnes @WhitMarieBarnes]

@dadmann_walking Hey, be thankful. I went to grab an Oreo and all the middles had been licked out and they put the cookie parts back. 🙃 raising boys is fun.
