"I only know to recognise time so I can transform" Nadine
Breathing is easy where love is abundant ❤️
The other day we went to an event and we took some snaps. This is a good friend of mine. She is a beaut, a gorgeous gorgeous soul and one of my favourite people on this small earth.
We've had a beautiful May❤️ there's always more than enough Hope to go around ❤️❤️✨
Lonely, heartbroken,
then you came into my life
curing the disease.

I've started a beautiful jounery on radio. It's been a blast and my co-hosts have been amazing.
focus on being happy instead of trying to prove your worth to people.

compliment recklessly! say the nice things that come to your head! we've got better things to do than resisting the instinct to be kind!

I've been told I have no backbone
It is crazy how I walk with hunched back because my family's home is built on my spine
Yet somehow, I have no backbone
I am able to shape shift into mother or father or child or breadwinner
My heart put on hold
My mind only knows to recognise time so I can transform
My father's tongue lashings all land on my exposed back
"Who wants to marry a naked whore"
This naked back is what's holding him upright
I can't say that though so I take my lashes with my shoulders square
I stare deep into his eyes
I'm not breadwinner this time
Just a 20 year old girl with no sense of womanhood
My mother knocks on my ribs for attention
I need to get my heart from the line outside so she can get her therapy session in
I remember to keep eye contact
Ask no questions
Make no facial expressions
This is a poker game and I'm the best player at the table
It's night time and the house is warm from my tears
I'll serve this home another meal
Faith will hold my spine as straight as hope will allow it
And with just a bit of grace in my step
My heart will make an appearance and kiss everyone goodnight

Father figure
Fathers have no balls here
They plant seeds they have no intention of tending
The women here are hybrids
Transform into father figures
Typing figures into calculators
Calculating where the next meal will be coming from
No pay checks but hunger pays carful attention and is not shy to spend
You don't need to bear children to be a father here
Your breasts are big enough balls to start looking for work to support your siblings
Your dreams nothing but a constraint to the wellbeing of the family you don't know how to create
Your breath is forever split in two
One half for your mother, especially on nights she can't hold on
One half for your dead beat father, especially on days your dreams are clutching at your neck for attention
The hours of your livelihood are split between hoping your father comes back and praying your mother wakes up
You can't hold your breath for too long
Might just kill your father
You pray your brother's balls don't drop
You pray your brother learns to be woman first
You pray your brother's dreams are loud enough to keep his zip shut and hormones in check
You pray your brother is dreaming

Speak Child ended the year in a beautiful bang. We love the family and will terribly miss them. We had guests that came to show some love too.
