After years posting my poems here on Tumblr, I got a book published!

The Secret Name of Things is available on Amazon.

I want someone who admires me with the same intensity as they admire the moon and the stars.

Friendly reminder that you do not have to be on adventures and experience new things all the time. You might feel this pressure to do "cool" things every day just so you can tell other people what you did. But darling, you should live your life for yourself, not for the stories you might be able to tell. All you really need to do is be. Be in the moment. Be kind to yourself. Be there for yourself. Listen to your soul, listen to what it craves. Go on adventures and explore the world for the right reasons. Rest and recover when your body tells you to. I know that sometimes when you stand still, there can be a lot of uneasiness, because you think you have to go somewhere and do something amazing. But remember: It is absolutely okay to have days where all you do is breathe and take it easy. There is so much meaning in the slow days as well, my love.

In case you are full of doubts while stumbling upon this post: You are more than your bad days. You are more than your sadness. You are more than these bad thoughts telling you that you have no purpose. You are loved. You are important. You are irreplaceable. You are so damn worthy. Nothing and no one can ever take that away from you.

“some connections will start to feel like an undersized shirt as you grow, but feel no guilt for choosing not to wear what doesn’t fit your soul anymore. expiration dates are common in connections, but the connection you have with yourself should never expire.”

“Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex; But eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, Stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories and make peace with them.”

“When the beginning was all pink colored glasses sitting on the tip of my nose, flowers and butterflies growing each day in it’s flourishing garden. But the end filled with endless nights, foggy sight and masks pilling up in each of our shelves.”
