whenever i see someone talking about how small & controllable women need to be if they want to be loved

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…

current mood… leaning into the feminine energy in my life, within myself, in my soul, in my connections

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.

i hope that friendship finds you…

i hope that friendship finds you… the kind that's good laughter and wild adventure…

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.

maybe it’s not such a bad thing… having to go through someone’s walls…

maybe it's not such a bad thing... having to go through someone's walls

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.

fire energy girls… made of fire, spark, confidence and flame…

fire energy girls… made of fire, spark, confidence and flame, they breathe in the wild

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.

this world is burning… and i want a world where it’s safe to believe in summers…

this world is burning, and i want a world where it's safe to believe in summers

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.

it’s maybe one of my favorite feelings ever… my friends and i call it “suspension”…

it’s maybe one of my favorite feelings ever… my friends and i call it suspension

it’s maybe one of my favorite feelings ever… my friends and i call it “suspension.” it’s when a connection creates an energy between you and another person or a group of people… 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. the way that energy can just feel infinite… i’m pretty sure it’s some kind of magic.
