me & my friends are watching the
Empire State Couple’s Netflix documentary
& there’s a part where Vanya is talking about
him making her feel safe while they’re doing
all these crazy things climbing together,
and he says…
“the safer she was, the more creative she became”
and y’all, if that isn’t some kind of
metaphor for being able to trust someone.

i miss what it
feels like to believe in sunrises.
to wake up feeling like… today will be good,
beautiful things will happen,
and nothing will hurt.
but the world just keeps breaking
my heart again and again
and again.

whenever i see someone talking about how small & controllable women need to be if they want to be loved, it just makes me want to write more poetry about how bright we get to be and be loved.

a love language…
good conversation. intense conversation.
wit, banter, chemistry. tell me things.
a curiosity exchange… the kind you
don’t want to end.

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.

you deserve someone who isn’t afraid of your sparks… the kind of connection where their fire is drawn to your fire.

never settle, because…
you deserve someone who isn’t afraid of your sparks…
the kind of connection where their fire is
drawn to your fire.

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.

let’s lose time.
it’s maybe one of my favorite feelings ever…
my friends and i call it “suspension.”
it’s when an experience you’re in creates an energy
between you and another person, or a few friends, or a whole group…
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.
vibes & presence & shared energy & connection… just feeling alive.
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 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; 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.
