    “I know how much pain the world weighs but I can still tip the scales in lights direction whenever I have your name on my tongue.” I had to pause and take that in for a moment...

    Whenever you say love is a ladder
    to our highest selves, I say, may our falling,
    Be the most beautiful climb.❤️

    Her poems are ephemeral and sweet,yet in their simplicity they’re a work of art and describe things I thought were only ineffable. Her diction is perfection. I love her poetry ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾

    I absolutely LOVE this. Since I first heard it about a year ago, it has become a staple in my life. I could not imagine my life now without it. Thank you for this gift, Andrea. It touches my heart, as I had that One, until just over eleven years ago when, dying of kidney failure and being eaten alive by dialysis at an age that was much too early for such circumstance, she committed suicide. My grief is much scanned over these days, the tears would equal the stars times 513... give or take. But this always sheds such a light on it. Almost makes it not as horrible.,.
    So again, from my Soul, thank you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I listen to this at least once a day. Andrea has this way of making me feel things that I didn't even know are there. They have a gift and it's beautiful.

    I'm literally in tears bcs how Andrea writes about love is exactly how I feel towards my partner and how powerful true love is when we finally feel how it transfroms our life. Thank you for this beautiful poem.

    This hit me hard. I once met a girl I thought I’ll fell in love with. Now when I think about it my chest literally hearts. I can’t return my life. But come to me for something. My love I’m here to make up for you hurt. Teach me how to be happy and I’ll teach you how to be happier with each insult. When another person tears you down I’ll build you back up. My love you aren’t my love anymore. My love you aren’t my love anymore. My love I don’t know what love is. I don’t know what love is
