i’m so drawn to aura…
like when you can feel who someone is
glowing from within… i’m just pulled to
the way a soul can radiate energy
through skin.

fire energy girls…
made of fire, spark, confidence and flame,
they breathe in the wild and hold the essence of brave,
so beautifully untamed… how they give this life
a pulse and light up your way… they will just
never, ever leave you unchanged.

no revenge because…
since you, i’ve been discovering and
growing into a beautiful new version of me
that i would’ve never even reached for if you
hadn’t shaken the core of that last
version of me so deeply

this world is burning, and i want a world where it’s safe to believe in summers… safe to lay easy in the grass, light and peaceful and sunkissed, knowing the axis is tilted steady towards the good, feeling so sure that something beautiful is at the core of everything. you can feel how we’re clawing for it… but maybe someday we’ll grasp it, and we’ll live it.

they tried to teach me
to be afraid of my dichotomies… to believe
that dynamic girls are “dangerous things.”
but i’ve been learning that some days i will
tend to flowers, and some days i will hold fire,
and “good girls” are also passionate girls,
and “good women” are also free women…
and that will only be a dangerous thing to
the ones who want us to live afraid.

let’s lose time.
it’s maybe one of my favorite feelings ever…
my friends and i call it “suspension.”
it’s when an experience you’re in creates an energy
between you and another person, or a few friends, or a whole group…
and that conversation, or that night, or that experience, or that moment you’re
in with them just becomes all there is, and you just lose time together.
vibes & presence & shared energy & connection… just feeling alive.
the way that energy can just feel infinite…
i’m pretty sure it’s some kind of magic.

i don’t think we’re taught enough how
much energy matters in connection and to listen
to our intuition… we’re told what we feel isn’t “real.”
but the physical or just actions or words;
not one of those things alone can tell us everything.
and so i listen to the way things feel… i listen
when something doesn’t feel right. but then…
i also love in energy because i don’t think
anything could be more real.

mamas are lovers
and dreamers and free spirits, too.
and that doesn’t mean you don’t find
yourself in who you are to the ones you love…
but you also matter as you are,
in who you are, for you.
and you can be a lover and a dreamer
and a free spirit, too.

be gentle with your heart as you let go of them… you’re not just letting go of them; you’re letting go of this whole version of you that was in love with them… but this next version of you is going to fall more in love with you than you ever have been.

be gentle with your heart as you let go of them in the way that you loved them… you loved them like wildfire, so this isn’t just burning a bridge; it’s taking all that passion you held for them and learning to let it catch fire for something new. they aren’t the source of your fire… you are. so let yourself become wildly passionate for something that you hold inside of you.
