I don’t think most of us realize how magical our bodies really are. They act as indicators of truth, detectors of intentions. We live in a society that teaches us to be so hard on our bodies, tells us that they’re never good enough, and so we never give them the respect or attention theyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Goosebumps”

Poetry Series – Dreaming
I think one of the most powerful things we can do is let a person know how loved they are. Sometimes love scares you shitless and this takes a lot of courage, though. I’m looking for the courage to take all of these little memories I’ve written and placed in the sight of mostly strangers,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Dreaming”
Poetry Series – Exposure
There were more years than I’d like to admit in which I’d push for vulnerability and openness out of everyone I met, all the while keeping myself safe and closed off. Sometimes it was rooted in thinking that space should only be for others and I need to stop taking it up. Other times IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Exposure”
Poetry Series – Yogurt
I’ve spent a lot of time getting to know myself better but it’s a whole other obstacle to successfully integrate the parts of myself I got to know into my life, my story, without feeling ashamed of them. Sometimes it’s hard to acknowledge that the approaches I took to cope with life weren’t always theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Yogurt”
Poetry Series – Love Hurts
I believe many of the people that hurt us the most come from a place of love and good intentions. We’ve all heard that it’s a mother’s job to worry but the problem is that worrying isn’t leaving room for trusting that we’ll be okay. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Love Hurts”
Poetry Series – Bruno Mars It’s a W-Rap
I’ve said that I hate life so many times as I was hurting that I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge that I love the way life works. I love the way we feel drawn to people, often before understanding why. I love the way that inspiration, encouragement, comes in the shape of peopleContinue reading “Poetry Series – Bruno Mars It’s a W-Rap”
Poetry Series – Prove Me Wrong
It’s only looking back on my experiences, on my decisions, that I see them with a more forgiving lens. It’s as if I need enough distance between who I am and that version of me to treat her like a stranger. I am so forgiving of strangers. It’s only looking back on my experiences thatContinue reading “Poetry Series – Prove Me Wrong”
Poetry Series – Waves
It has been the kind of week that I didn’t think I would make it through without destroying my life. I often forget that there’s a power in pausing and allowing before reacting out of fear, based off of emotion. One of the hardest things about healing, for me, is learning when to trust thatContinue reading “Poetry Series – Waves”
Poetry Series – Psychic
As I continue to grow, I think one of the hardest things for me to accept is that sometimes our goodbyes are better done silently. There will be people that you have to let go of and wish well without ever actually getting your goodbye, your closure. Even harder still is knowing when to trustContinue reading “Poetry Series – Psychic”
Poetry Series – Mind
As I’ve gone through life, I’ve let each person shape a new chapter in my story. I’ve riddled the pages with details of them, hoping not to forget. For all of my favorite details, I put a bookmarker on, saving the page so I can flip right back at any moment. What you may notContinue reading “Poetry Series – Mind”
