there will be a year when your
heart gets so broken that you feel like
you won’t survive it… but it’s important
that you keep going…
because there is a version of you
waiting on the other side of that journey
who is healed and free and has such
a beautiful new life to show you.

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.

i’m so drawn to aura…
like when you can feel who someone is
glowing from within… i’m just pulled to
the way a soul can radiate energy
through skin.

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.

no revenge because…
since you, i’ve been discovering and
growing into a beautiful new version of me
that i would’ve never even reached for if you
hadn’t shaken the core of that last
version of me so deeply

they tried to teach me
to be afraid of my dichotomies… to believe
that dynamic girls are “dangerous things.”
but i’ve been learning that some days i will
tend to flowers, and some days i will hold fire,
and “good girls” are also passionate girls,
and “good women” are also free women…
and that will only be a dangerous thing to
the ones who want us to live afraid.

mamas are lovers
and dreamers and free spirits, too.
and that doesn’t mean you don’t find
yourself in who you are to the ones you love…
but you also matter as you are,
in who you are, for you.
and you can be a lover and a dreamer
and a free spirit, too.

be gentle with your heart as you let go of them… you’re not just letting go of them; you’re letting go of this whole version of you that was in love with them… but this next version of you is going to fall more in love with you than you ever have been.

be gentle with your heart as you let go of them in the way that you loved them… you loved them like wildfire, so this isn’t just burning a bridge; it’s taking all that passion you held for them and learning to let it catch fire for something new. they aren’t the source of your fire… you are. so let yourself become wildly passionate for something that you hold inside of you.

why else would you have been
given this passionate ache inside for it
if you weren’t meant to know it and tangibly hold it…
dreams are dreams on purpose. aches are in us
on purpose. your heart reaches for it on purpose…
and because your soul remembers it.
