good intentions are like magic…

when you can feel it in your bones; how it’s safe to just believe in them… there’s nothing in the world like that feeling… good intentions are like magic.

a heavy relationship
isn’t the same as a deep love…
a deep love won’t weigh you down,
it will breathe into your soul and
allow you to be free

– butterflies rising

i think, sometimes… we confuse a heavy relationship with a deep love. and maybe it’s not so easy to know the difference. but i don’t think love wants to weigh you down… i think love will let you grow… and breathe into your soul and make you feel alive and free.

anyone who tells
you the fairytale isn’t real
just hasn’t found it yet,
or they settled for less, but that’s
their story, not yours.

let yourself believe in your fairytale.

if i don’t
find you in this lifetime,
i will wait for you
until the next

the way a boy with tattoos can linger…

the way i’d
trace my fingers
so slow
down your forearm
over every inch of
your tattoos,
just taking in your skin,
letting it tell me all
your stories,
even the ones you
couldn’t say…
i’m terrified i’ll always
miss that.
