you know why the moon mission stuff mattered so much? we’ve been sharing a collective broken heart for what feels like forever, but with the moon stuff, we got to share a dream… and it just feels really, really good to dream.

my friends & i have always felt sad about how, as girls,
it’s not safe for us to take late-night walks…
when all we wanna do is go look at the moon.
but a few nights ago, a woman left the earth, on her way to be
the first woman to go to the moon, in a rocket named after a goddess…
and the moon was pink that night…
and it felt like being told to keep reaching for a better world…
one where we’re so free to take walks under the moon
that we feel like we could touch it.

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 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.

whenever i see someone talking about how small & controllable women need to be if they want to be loved, it just makes me want to write more poetry about how bright we get to be and be loved.

current mood…
leaning into the feminine energy in my life,
within myself, in my soul, in my connections
with women & girls… my friendships.
and in nature… the way it’s in the flowers,
but also in the moon,
just anywhere i can feel it…
it’s where things are beautiful and soft,
but it’s where i’m protected, too.

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

in 2026…
i hope that friendship finds you…
the kind that’s good laughter and wild adventure…
the kind that believes in you and helps you believe
in you, too… and it feels like safety; like genuine
safety where you can trust them so deeply…
i just hope you find friendship that is so
good for your soul.

you deserve someone who isn’t afraid of your sparks… the kind of connection where their fire is drawn to your fire.

maybe it’s not such a bad thing… having to go through someone’s walls. like… because once you get through, you know it’s because they really want you there. and that space isn’t for just anyone… no one else could be there but you.

what if there are no wrong turns?
like really… what if?
what if all of your “wrong turns” are
really just the long way home?
