Guilty Pleasures #8
"In my mind
I've run my fingers
over the curve of your lips
every morning
since we first met"
Oh you know 👀

The Haunting #1
HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND SAMHAIN!!! I hope only living spirits visit you while the veil is thin. 🧡🖤
"Some nights I still feel haunted
like you left parts of you here
your laugh echoes from the stairs
your hands hover above my chest
A shimmering spector
always lingering just out of view
Some nights I feel like
I'm the ghost
like most of me is flickering
between your reality and my dreams
Did we ever exist?
Am I the haunting after all?"

Echoes #9 by
Image Text:
"Headlights shine through
the tree covered back roads
Your hand is laced in mine
And laid across my lap
Here
With the open window
Whipping up my hair
And your brown eyes
Reflective in each passing headlight
Sneaking a glance at me
Here
It would be so easy
It would be so simple
To offer you all of me
Every broken piece
You smile in my direction
Here
But the words die on my tongue
Here
What would someone
So untouched
Someone so whole
Even do with with all of my
Broken pieces, anyway."

Heavy #6
Everyday I wear this armor,
strong enough to protect me,
to keep my shattered pieces
from spilling onto the floor,
but it is so heavy and so cold.
Will I ever be seen from beneath it again?

Confessions #3
I will always love
the people I have loved
even if I can't be
with them anymore;
Even if I don't want
to be with them
anymore.

Release #3
“I never loved my name
Until I felt you
Breathe it
Against my skin “

— I have no recollection of writing this micro poem, but I’m kinda in love with it?
Found it in my notebook I use for writing my story, but different inspiration must have hit with only this notebook in reach! There’s not much that compares to that feeling of something cool that absolutely needs to get itself out of your brain!

Decisions #3
Text:
You are so soft,
And the world can be so hard.
Try not to take that weight
to bed with you tonight.
Tempting as it is
to hold it right
as your only company.

“I smashed my mirror
It shattered into a million, glittering pieces
The sun rays from my window
Caught each, sparkling edge
Let them see my new reflection
In there wrecked and wondrous

This is a scary time for all of us. Some people can't work; many people aren't having their houses! This post is just a little reminder that someone you love is an extrovert and usually relies on their social gatherings to get those happy brain chemicals pumping!
So, if you have a few extroverted friends, maybe just reach out and see how they're doing?
If you're extroverted friend has been blowing up your phone, dms, messaging apps, etc., Please be understanding! We're not trying to be annoying, we promise.
Love you all! Stay safe. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing if you can! 💞

Sometimes, you go through some really tough struggles. Sometimes you find something that gets you through that time. Sometimes you find a network and a community that cares about you and women everywhere. Sometimes your mission and pain aligns. Sometimes you get to use your creativity for great causes. Sometimes you get to be of a masterpiece-- a symphony. Sometimes you feel less alone. Sometimes you're awed by the company you keep. Sometimes you're inspired by all the brilliant women you've met or read because all of all of this. Sometimes you're grateful for the journey that brought you here. Sometimes you feel like you're actually making a difference.
