love letter to the universe

There is something innately peaceful abouta snowy field in the middle of the night.You can really hear your thoughts,hear them sync up with the pulse of the universe. I look out across the roaming vista,inhaling the frigid air into my icy lungsI am both exactly where I should be,and somehow, nowhere at all. The windContinue reading “love letter to the universe”

on mental health

On my good days I am like sunshine extending out to reach the farthest corners. On my bad days I am like fog overwhelming, thick, impossible to navigate through. On my best days I am certain that I am cherished beyond measure that everyone who loves me does so unyieldingly. On my worst days IContinue reading “on mental health”

wildfire girl

She is a wildfire,who doesn’t care who she burns downon her quest to self-destruct. A raging fire can be a beautiful thing,so full of life and yetit so savagely destroys, as well. Her flames burn crimson red and deep ochre,even violent blue, not a solemn blue,though sometimes it may seem so. Sadness can be destructiveContinue reading “wildfire girl”

small magic

I have been jumping from ledge to ledge for the past five years. Putting up with bad behaviour, letting people treat me however they wanted, as long is it meant I could survive. I wanted to desperately to leave where I came from, not because of my family, who has persevered and loved each otherContinue reading “small magic”

letter from a girl who also lost her brother.

Welcome to the club. It’s a club that no one wants to be a part of and memberships are non refundable. While no two memberships are the same, there are some parts that remain consistent. Most people won’t understand. That’s okay. Some people will act like it’s not a big deal. It is. Don’t letContinue reading “letter from a girl who also lost her brother.”

As the year draws to a close, I can’t help but reflect on all that has transpired and all that I’ve learned.
