I’ve become this soft and gentle woman. I embrace my emotions, I cry whenever I need to, I forgive myself for certain experiences and move on with love. I just love the space of being soft and gentle. This version of me is beautiful.

it's october. it's autumn. it's time for long walks, reading sessions, writing, baking cookies, carrying books in tote bags, listening to soft music as it rains, more reading and more writing.

when i have a home of my own, it will be filled with so much love, so much warmth, so much tenderness, there will be space to be scared, to be vulnerable, to be held, and heard. there will be laughter, there will be closeness, cooking and sharing. the table will always have food, the door will always be open. there will be touch, there will be compassion, there will be kindness. there will be love, it will be love, everyone will be loved

i love you my girl mutuals in our twenties who are learning to live better than we were raised

I relate to Diana because if I knew vampires were real and I met one from the period of history I’m enamored with I would personally strap them to a chair with crucifixes and silver and demand to know everything about Anne Boleyn.

You didn’t know her? Well you better hope you’ve got a bloodsucking buddy who does because I’ve got a special interest and a cask of holy water and you aren’t going anywhere.

I spend my winters trying to forget you

but summer always returns

& it’s not only the sun that warms me

it’s the memory of your laugh

under waterfalls & bedsheets

An Average Exchange in My Household

Me: Who’s mommy’s little baby?

My lab, who is secretly a black cat in dog form: I shall place my paw upon thine throat as recompense for such foolish claims

Also my lab, .05 seconds previously: I must sit beside mother’s bed in the hopes of being lifted into heaven to receive The Snuggles.
