    Thomas Slatin Quote About Accomplishments

    February 2, 2021 / 20 Comments

    An old friend once bragged to me their list of accomplishments, as if in their eyes, the things for which I have accomplished were insignificant by comparison.  This made me realize that their accomplishments are equal in merit to mine, notwithstanding, as my goals were realized through dedication, perseverance, compassion, and grace.

    Thomas Slatin Quote About Dreaming

    September 16, 2020 / 20 Comments

    I’m a dreamer; a dreamer who believes in fairness and equality. When I was a child I would dream of how life might be. As a young adult, I would dream of how life could be. Now, as a full-grown adult, I dream about how life should be. Thomas Slatin

    August 20, 2020 / 21 Comments

    The culmination of daily fears and postponed dreams gave me no other option than to vanish to save my own sanity. Whatever path one chooses to walk in life, there are times in life when one must walk alone. Thomas Slatin

    Thomas Slatin Quote On Things Unseen

    August 13, 2020 / 15 Comments

    My eyes still see colors, I still feel the wind and the rain, and believe in things unseen. I still see and appreciate the art of everyday life. Yet faced with my seemingly overwhelming success, I was not looking for fame and fortune, nor adorers to show up in hoards; my dream was simply for someone to listen to the stories I tell. Now that I have come to the realization that I belong, I now need to belong somewhere I feel free. Thomas Slatin, Somewhere I Feel Free

    Thomas Slatin Quote About Values

    June 16, 2020 / 27 Comments

    I do not know that which I truly possess, nor its value and importance until it is gone. I don’t know whom to love until after they are lost forever. And I don’t know I should feel until long after the moment has passed. Thomas Slatin

    Thomas Slatin Quote On Risk Taking

    June 15, 2020 / 29 Comments

    I have saved lives.  I have held the hands of those who were dying, and helped give birth to those who were moments away from taking their first breaths.  But I have scars.  I have seen all the realities of life, and got way too caught up in what it has to offer.  My scars, forever endearing are both physical as well as emotional.  Every time I look back on my life, I often wonder if the cost was ever truly worth the risk, and through my successes, was it ever worth the reward?  It truly was, and I’d do it all again if I could.

    June 4, 2020 / 26 Comments

    I still remember being young and every time I felt as if I were in love, it felt like as if I were simply part of a juxtaposition of two lost souls side by side in orbit around a chaotic world. Thomas Slatin
