sincerity…

i am intensely
drawn to sincerity

– butterflies rising

let yourself
find peace with the
apology that’s never coming…
even if it came,
it wouldn’t be enough,
and it doesn’t hold your healing

sometimes the universe will
remove or withhold, not to hurt you,
but to free you or save you from
what doesn’t lead you home

they say they want a wild thing…
until it comes time to love one.

– butterflies rising

hold on…
these things that tear
your soul apart will someday
be no more than a faded memory
with no hold on you

we honor the
people around us by taking
responsibility for our own energy,

we honor ourselves
by choosing to have people around us
who are willing to do the same.

there
are times
that my faith
gets weary
from the
aching in my back
where my wings have
yet to grow

– the butterfly process

– butterflies rising

some people are
convinced they’ve been
hurt by you simply because you’ve
stopped letting them hurt you

she’s learning to stop
bleeding herself out for others.

to stop. bleeding love. for those who
only drain her.

to let it all flow back to her…
to let all that love fill her own heart.

– butterflies rising

it was just
this quiet moment of
indifference to your existence…

and that’s when i knew
that i had healed.

shy…
but curious

self-love
