Life is in constant flux, we muddle through the day, an echoing aurora can be traced around us faded along the path behind us. Our mood, our actions, our thoughts create an energy all around us, it effects not only ourselves but everything around us. Remind yourself to be present, let thoughts and emotions float by, acknowledge them without judgement and let them pass. We too often hold on to the bad and let it effect everything around us, the Midas touch. Work to rewire your thinking, focusing on all the positive and beauty in the moment, for we can only control ourselves in the present moment. Let your smile be contagious, let your good mood spread to every person you encounter, hold a door open, complement someone out loud, be a beacon of light, and aurora of good, shining to remind others that the light resides inside them and they too can light up this world. Imagine how beautiful a world of natural radiance would be! -ch {the Midas touch of your own devise} #poetryisnotdead #positivevibes #platinumblonde #platinumpixie #nonbinary #plantlady (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1V9_OUBg5s/?igshid=1pztdezo4vjb4

I first tried @19crimes red blend almost 2 years ago and went home with a bottle that day! As you can see, I’m still enjoying it. Beyond being a great wine to settle down for dinner with after a long day, you can download their Living Wine Labels App to learn more about the convicts featured on each bottle who come to life via Augmented Reality, to tell their stories about the British transportation to Australia to serve out their sentence, a unique time in history. The red blend I’m holding is a rebel rouser just like me, with deep hinges of vanilla, chocolates and cider spice, rounded off with a notes of dark berries, so delicious it should be a crime! #wino #19Crimes #LiveInfamously #19CrimesPartner #EscapeToBoston #AustralianWine #Boston #For21+ #ad (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WD0sVhx-3/?igshid=1u0eghkt37xmm

To what rhythm does your heart beat? Mine, Beats to rhythmic clatter of this old type writer, it feels every punch of each key as the black ink bleeds on the thick parchment, with a rapid change in direction upon the bell’s ring, thoughts ringing through my head leave my heart fickle, disturbing her nature tempo. An uneven beat, the pause of space, her movement down the page as words unravel. My heart remains an old soul in a modern word, her weathered edges show her age, while my mind frantically skips between the past and the future. A disconnect, a machine that doesn’t live to be plugged in, while the other is purely run by electric connectivity. Only by living in the present can they connect. Only by living in the moment of here and now can all the worry fade. Seek the present moment relentlessly, as often as you can, listen to the rhythms all around you, feel the electric connections in your every part of your body as you breathe, as you move, witness all the color around, without judgement, for the present moment is all we truly have, for the future is just thoughts and the past is only memories, they exist only in our mind. -ch {dancing with Kali, the Hindu goddess of time} #poetryisnotdead #magick #nonbinary #mentalhealthrecovery ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ☼ poetry from my upcoming book, icarus and her sun. the wolf and her moon ☾ my debut poetry book is available on amazon and worldwide • link in bio ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– I keep my #whitehair icy white using @fanola #noyellowshampoo use the link in my bio and the code: UNIQUERADIANCE to get a discount!

I’m super stoked to be working with @lyft to share the great changes they have been making to support the #lgbtcommunity @lyft has added a setting to allow people to specify their preferred pronouns! #twoistoofew is about making people feel valid and safe, teaching people about pronoun use and normalizing it. Gender is a spectrum, how could two options be enough to describe a world of us? I think it’s great that @lyft did something more than just changing their logo rainbow, they made moves to actually support the community. Additionally, they partnered with the National Center for Transgender Equality to help drivers change their names and gender on the their driver’s license! That’s huge! As someone who identifies as #nonbinary I think this is amazing, it’s important to normalize that gender is not binary, that sometimes people are born into bodies that don’t fit who they are, but that doesn’t make them any less of a person. Let’s stand up to support each other to support love and kindness to one another! So thank you @lyft for showing that companies can do more to support their employees and customers! #gyftfromlyft #worldpride #pride #genderfluid #validation (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVWfhAhqS7/?igshid=1jd0n70tlrhe6

The secret to Bleaching my roots without the band!! Usually when ever I bleach my roots I get an intense band that not even the amazing @fanola no yellow shampoo can help with (since that’s not what it’s intended to do) to get icy white hair with fanola, it need to be really white to start with. Normally I get a band but thanks to the master work of @lor_loves_hair I spent less time with bleach on my head, wooo! #platinumposse 1. @oligopro Blacklight Cream Lightener Volume 20 2. Tones with @pulpriothair #Icy and overtoned with @redken shades eq 9P 9V 9B and crystal clear. Swipe to see the bleach she used. #platinumpixie #blondespecialist #whitehair #tomboystyle #lgbtpride #nonbinary (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLKBYMhs-M/?igshid=wcvbkylqg8xi

Beauty comes from a smile that lights up a room, not an edited image in a magazine. Beauty comes from a soul that is happy and compassionate, it radiates from within us, as we find ourselves, as we gleam in our own confidence, as we let loose and feel comfortable in our home, the miraculous body we are given. Beauty comes from how we handle ourselves, not what we put on our skin, for the body is just a vessel for all the magic we hold inside, the media feeds us false beliefs causing us to hide within ourselves, breeding demons of insecurity but there is nothing more beautiful than a person who believes in themselves, who takes the opportunity to share their light with others in everything they do -ch {shine on my little stars} 🖤 #beautysecret #audreyhepburn #poetryislove #insecure #copingskills #beautyisinthedetails #makeup #skincareroutine (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/By-ABp9hUd5/?igshid=ujuw205w0bcn

I love when lgbt people are represented in television and movies. Growing up I had no one in my family who was queer nor did many of my friends feel safe to be openly queer, people who were got bullied, I was bullied before I even came out. Having media representation of struggles of coming out and what it means to have supportive community is huge. My most recent recommendation is @doompatroldcu! They have a whole episode about acceptance of being queer and what makes you different, I was having a really bad day yesterday and just seeing this representation made me really happy. It means more than script writers, directors and producers will ever know. Normalizing being queer helps people not be afraid of something that is different. We should always celebrate love that is consensual and safe ♥️ this awesome shirt is by @shop_passionfruit thank you to @ellosteph for showing yours off so I could snag one for myself! Let’s celebrate love, let’s celebrate being kind to one another and respecting what makes us all unique and who we are! #pride #nonbinary #lgbtpride #queer (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0_z9RBthm/?igshid=15ale42d7knsp

a storm caught within the fragile bounds of this faded masson jar. Quivering at the might of Thor’s lighting, thundering to escape this prison. How can something so fragile, hold all this power? I’ll tell you how. Through perseverance, through surviving and then learning to live, letting love in, through learning healthy ways to cope, I hold within me magic, power that I have learned to control. I may be shaky still, for to hold within me the power of light is a great feat, but each day, I learn how to stand a little more sturdy on my feet, I learn how to use my light to brighten the world rather than burn holes though myself. For you too can learn to control all that is within you, it begins with asking for help. -ch {Baldr, the god of light, lives within us all} If you are struggling, the hardest thing to do is to ask for help but it is the more important step! #lgbtq are disproportionately at risk for #mentalhealth you are never alone, no matter where you are, there are safe places to ask for help even if it has to be over the phone. #pridemonth is about celebrating how much progress the #lgbtcommunity has made, but let’s remember to help each other, lift each other up, so we can all shine brightly.

It’s #mentalhealthawarenessmonth Talking about your mental health does not make you weak, in fact, it makes your Strong and Brave. It is easier to hide from mental health than it is to face it, that being said, it’s okay to take your time in confronting the things you fear. Mental health will only ever be about you! #lbgtq individuals are 3x as likely to attempt suicide than their counterparts. Let’s create a safe space for people of all different backgrounds, colors, shapes and sizes and support safe love of all kinds ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 I try to weave lessons I have learned in therapy into my poems, not everyone can afford a therapist or has access to a therapist that works well for them. I would love to know if one of the poems from my book helped you! Sometimes even just not feeling alone with what you struggle with and seeing other people survive and grow from a similar place can give you the strength and courage to take the steps necessary to start working on yourself. It’s amazing how much I have grown once I made a commitment to really changing the way my brain thinks. Even after a year I still stumble and fall a lot but you know what!? I never fall back to my lowest point! So a set back is just a set back and it shows me that all my hard work is making a difference. #mentalhealthrecovery #lgbtmentalhealth #nonbinary #loveislove #selfcompassion #mentalhealth (at Cambridge, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_6TlJBNvw/?igshid=vcgq4b8449ha
