i hope 2025
is the year the universe
shows you how you can be
loved into growth instead of
having to be broken into it…
because you’ve already
learned so much of how strong
you’ve grown through darkness…
but i think you’re made of flowers;
how you bloom when there’s
light on your skin

summer wild…
a restless summer child, sunrise-sweet and
sunset-wild, kissed by light glimmer and running
free in the wild air, under the magic of fireflies and in
the glow of bonfire flare, feeling alive and chasing
new horizons is why we’re here, so when the
sunset unfolds into the night of our lives…
promise you’ll meet me there.

a love language…
love me for the way i’m a wildflower,
and then come closer and love me like wildfire.

what if there are compasses everywhere… in your heart, in the stars, in the depth of your marrow. your dreams are always calling, pulling you closer, and you’re never not on your way there.

babygirl,
there are flowers in your heart walls,
and i promise you, they’ve been there all along,
no matter how hard it’s gotten. so fight for your
tenderness… don’t let anything you’ve been
through make you feel like it can
ever be taken from you.

she’s remembering her soul dna…
how it’s magic-touched. how she’s flower essence.
how she’s fire soul. how she’s allowed to trust that she’s
protected and carried on her way… even in the unknown,
even in the wild. and that her lungs should breathe
so freely and her wings should be untethered… and that
the voice that should have the most say here
is the one inside her heart.

it hurts so much to rip it out of you because you felt it and held it so deep within you

my love stories have been
devastatingly beautiful but devastatingly
heartbreaking, too… things have felt so spiritual
and so brutally human all at once. and i think i’m learning
to let it all be true, to let myself feel all the things i’ve
so passionately felt, but still keep letting go of
what isn’t meant to stay.

i hope your next days bring in life like summer,
like light, like warmth… and that you let
good things come to you, and you let
them fall on you without a fight.
what if life is holding something so beautiful
for you… i hope you let that be true and you let yourself
believe in the beautiful as it unfolds
all around you… i hope you let it all
make you feel so free.

and maybe you don’t believe it yet… but i hope

babygirl,
don’t run from the shadows
under your sweetness; you are layers of
dark and light… so try to meet it all with curiosity
and give everything your compassion
because none of it needs your judgment,
and all of it needs your love.
