hiii, i've been reading your blogs for a rush of magic but i can't seem to load ur blog, is my laptop malfunctioning or you shut it down? (please don't shut it down :(( )

Hey there, first I'm glad to know my writing brings something warm and happy to people still. Secondly, it's not officially or entirely closed down it's just viewable from the app only. I haven't posted much here, but couldn't bear to part ways. I've had this blog since December of 2015. It was a source of healing, growth, and moving on! Thirdly, sorry I took so long to respond, but I hope you've found it long before then. Fourthly, thank you for the kind message. <3

I still remember those crashing waves and pink sunsets like they were yesterday’s landscapes. November 2011.

Hello! I used to be subscribed to your other tumblr account, but I’ve deleted mine a year ago so I’ve lost your username... i absolutely loved your blog and I remembered your quote in the bio, could you perhaps share the current username on that blog? Thank you in advance!

ahhh thank you so much, bug !!! it's currently awarmbowlofsoup but I’m tempted to change it to neverthebird, but we’ll see, for now you know where to find me !!!

I don't mean to be rude. Just confused. Aren't you like 26 if you were born in 1995? And not.. almost 24? Or am I reading posts from years ago?

Yeah, I am! Freshly 26 since late June. On mobile it doesn't show any dates but if you look on a PC and see my post history via the archive you'll see that post is like 2 years old. I stopped posting regularly in 2017 and came back periodically to check in over the years, now that things have calmed down a bit in my life I find myself making my way back here more frequently...

do you have any published works? if so, where can i buy them? i love your writing

Awww, thank you so much bug !!! I’m currently working on 2ish or so projects right now. A compilation of writing published here on this tumblr, another smaller collection of poetry (mostly) never published. I want them to be physical copies as well, but I think I might bite the bullet and just publish the e-versions first. 

I haven’t been on here much, because I have a tendency to publish everything I write, so I needed some time away...

But I’m still working, still writing....as always...

What’s your other tumblr account? :)

What do you mean other tumblr account? Do you mean my personal one? Or???

and so july bled into august, only to become yet another month of yearning, of longing, of waiting, of wanting, of nothing...

[1995june]

And I am beginning to feel like nothing more than an observer in my own life. Always watching idly by, but never doing.

As if: I am always the wind, and never the bird.

Going, going where I am told to be, rather than free.

Keep us updated on the book cause I will preorder it!

I’m speechless!!!!! but absolutely for sure. the plan is to start publishing some snippets here and there on tumblr in a couple weeks when the semester is over and I can actually think and breathe again !!!! thank you <3

[1995june]

I just found your blog and love it! Have you written any books because I’d buy the shit outta them

ahhh, thank you! I haven’t completed any yet, but I am currently writing one and I’m very excited about it !!!

[1995june]

so im not really sure who’s still around from quite awhile ago. its been forever since ive been here. i noticed on my bio it says im still 22, when actually im almost 24 now, and for some reason that made me a little sad. like ive missed so much being gone. anyways, the disappearance has been good for my growth. things are changing, and im so excited to put school behind me soon and hopefully find my way back to writing. i want to write again. i need to write again. hopefully i will !!! much love to everyone <3

Hello, I've loved your poems for years now and recently wrote one inspired by the format of one of yours! I included an "after Nicole Moon" under the title. I just wanted to make sure this was okay and that you didn't mind? Thanks!

sorry, i missed this! i’ve been gone away for so long. but thank you thank you for this <3<3<3 after a long long hiatus from writing this is ever so sweet to hear that my writing still inspires people <3

[1995june]

Is your name June? Were you born in 1995?

Nope, but I was born in June of ‘95...

Go out into the world and be brave. Sow your feet deep into the earth and wonder aimlessly, fall in love recklessly and passionately and do not ever apologize for feeling anything and everything both too little or too much.

Some people are good at loving, others are good at being loved. Two very different things. And some people, perhaps the luckiest of all, are good at being loved and giving that same love in return.
