it could be something beautiful…

all of this heat and heart and wild intensity... it's beautiful. - butterflies rising

i never knew…
because they didn’t want me to know…
that it’s spiritual. touch is spiritual.
passion is spiritual. soul to skin…
it’s. all. spiritual.
they never told me that it could be beautiful.
that i’m beautiful. that you’re beautiful.
and all of that heat and heart
and wild intensity… it’s. beautiful.
and little by little, i’m trying to trade in
shame and fear and just let myself feel
all the things i’ve never let myself feel.
maybe then it could be something… beautiful.

the rebound relationship…

One of the saddest connections is the rebound relationship.

One of the saddest connections is
the rebound relationship.
You’re using one person to try to
unlove another.

There’s nothing pure or honest
in what that relationship is,
or ever will be, as you’ve carried into
it an unhealed bond to what was.

Take time to cleanse,
to heal, to renew, to grow, to become.

good intentions are like magic.

when you can
trust that every word
a person says to you is true

how it’s safe to just believe in them.

and there’s nothing in the world
like that feeling…

good intentions are like magic.
