keep living
reinvent yourself
over and over again

You are misunderstood, but one day you will understand yourself.

I’ve always had an everlasting faith in myself and a keen intuition, but last year my undying confidence and endless optimism were tested in tsunami-like waves.

You recognize it is okay to change your mind and don’t beat yourself up over it.

This time of year has always reminded me it is okay to shed and to walk away from what no longer serves – even if that causes uncertainty and leads to an unfathomable amount of pain.

Wanting to disappear because you forgot your headphones and sunglasses at home.

Depression is the ghost that follows me around in a cloud-like haze.

Taureans are old-fashioned romantics

Strong couples call one another out.

This free spirit is non-traditional and cannot stand domesticity or being put through an emotional wringer. They play by their own rulebook.

I either have a case of word vomit or am unable say a thing

craving the lights to be on so this is real

my hands are drawn to his body

I never know if they are real or I made them up

and we try to dismiss the feeling
pick and choose another distraction

because if you were meant to be in my life
you would have never lit the match

fantasy is reality

I never thought the odious nightmare would end, but hours later Florida’s atmosphere was back to normalcy. Yet, everything I grew to know and love as a child was destroyed at my feet.
