the way we’ve just been conditioned our whole lives as girls & women to just accept SA as an almost inevitable thing we’ll experience… it’s overwhelming to even see any consequences… like it feels foreign to even consider a world where SA is just terrible and rare… but imagine, what if we could have that world

just because they haven’t been
accountable for what they did to you…
it doesn’t mean the energy of what

if there is anything i want to be…
i want to be the most passionate version
of myself… to feel and feel… and follow what i feel,
and inhale love and be love, and exhale any fear…
and this version of me won’t apologize
for having a heart on fire

i don’t know if our nervous systems are
made for social media… to have so much noise
over our own inner voice trying to influence
who and how we should be…
but i’m learning to say things like…
“who and how i want to be can’t be shaken
by what’s outside of me. i need to like me…
and that’s what i’m going to
let matter to me.”

i miss what it
feels like to believe in sunrises.
to wake up feeling like… today will be good,
beautiful things will happen,
and nothing will hurt.
but the world just keeps breaking
my heart again and again
and again.

a love language…
good conversation. intense conversation.
wit, banter, chemistry. tell me things.
a curiosity exchange… the kind you
don’t want to end.

never settle, because…
you deserve someone who isn’t afraid of your sparks…
the kind of connection where their fire is

on heartbreak and healing…
there isn’t just
“something to be fixed” here;
there’s a journey to take…
you aren’t going to go through this
just to go back to who you were before.
and this heartbreak may feel
like a burning season,
but there’s a promise in this violence…
the healing will be a blooming season,
and alchemy is the way through.
you’re meant to come out of this something
different and beautiful on the other side.

wild freedom and deep trust aren’t strangers to each other at all… if anything, they help each other grow.
