a (tumultuous) new year

been having a lot of emotions about the new year and everything going on in the world and the idea that i am stuck (i am literally 23 but my brain is like you're practically in the grave) and my personal life. you have to remind yourself that it is never too late to start. a new year can start any day.

🌟 O God, grant us eyes to see the best in everyone, a heart to forgive the worst, a mind to forget the bad, and a soul that never loses faith. Let us be beacons of hope and love in a world that needs it most. 💖✨ 🫒

" There is a moment in early November when the light itself seems nostalgic, as if recalling the afternoons it once gilded. The sky remembers us, even when we forget. "

And I am overwhelmed with soft desire–for vanished conversations, for hands that once knew how to steady mine.

Allí en el cáliz de la noche umbría sus perlas vierte el ruiseñor oscuro. Allí sestea el fiel león del día. En su escondido sésamo seguro custodia el grifo de la fantasía de hirviente manantial el fuego puro. Rosa Chacel
