self-love

Shop

all that she once gave away…

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

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.

indifference…

indifference to your existence

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

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

he wanted me to believe…

he wanted me to believe in the universe

he said,
close your eyes for just one moment
and imagine…
what if everything you fear is an illusion,
and all these things you dream
are what is real

he wanted me to believe in the universe

they all love at such exhausting extremes… inhale love fully, and let it breathe…

they all love at such exhausting extremes, suffocated or uninvested, missing the place in between

they all love
at such exhausting extremes,
suffocated or uninvested,
missing the place in between,
where love is trusted
but breathes

…inhale it fully, let it breathe

roots…

the forgiveness i owe isn’t to you... it’s to myself. for forgetting my worth.

the forgiveness
i owe isn’t to you…
it’s to myself.
for forgetting my worth.
for letting you unearth me
from these roots.
for letting you pull me
from my truth.

and there is too much good in you
for you to not let goodness be
who and what you are
