watch me while I bloom

Would it be different if we met at another time?

oh my god. most of life really is about the little things. a good haircut, a nice playlist, trying a new recipe that turns out well, a poem that hits home, a comfortable spot in the sun, spontaneous messages, a pen you enjoy writing with, tea with the right temperature to drink, buying that thing you’ve been eyeing for a while, a warm bed. yeah. im so grateful for the little enjoyments

I am so busy keeping my head above water that I scarcely know who I am, much less who anyone else is.

you don't have to find the positive in your trauma. you don't have to turn your trauma into beautiful art. your trauma doesn't have to be inspiring. you don't have to hold beliefs like 'harships are lessons' or 'everything happens for a reason'. you don't have to forgive your abusers. you don't have to talk about your trauma, but you also you don't have to be silent about your trauma. you don't have to be the perfect victim or the perfect survivor.
