they say you are gone. but i still feel you…

they say you are gone. but i still feel you… in signs and serendipities

they say you are gone.
but i still feel you… in signs and serendipities,
you are imprinted in song lyrics and visiting me
through butterflies… i am trying to understand the
texture of this world without you because they say
that you are gone, but i still feel you in energy,
and i’m sure that you’re still with me.

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.

i don’t think we’re taught enough how much energy matters in connection…

i don't think we're taught enough how much energy matters in connection and to listen to our intuition

i don’t think we’re taught enough how
much energy matters in connection and to listen
to our intuition… we’re told what we feel isn’t “real.”
but the physical or just actions or words;
not one of those things alone can tell us everything.
and so i listen to the way things feel… i listen
when something doesn’t feel right. but then…
i also love in energy because i don’t think
anything could be more real.

be gentle with your heart as you let go of them… you’re not just letting go of them…

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

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.

why else would you have been given this passionate ache…

why else would you have been given this passionate ache inside for it

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.
