I struggle to write the right thing,always concerned with if I sounddeep enough, consumable enoughlike, would I like this if I read it on instagram? Is it relatable enough?

teenage dreams
You know those teen movies you know the ones that eternal summer dripping popsicles scuffed up converse running around the carnival lana del rey playing in the background thinking that life is hard not knowing how hard it really is that us against the world mentality filmed in gritty 90s tint the drugs and theContinue reading “teenage dreams”
spring reverie
A rose gold sky that baths light over the landtricking the eyemomentarily distracting from the deteriorating snow piles. I smile to myself,inhaling a burst of air into my sleepy lungs.The little things. As she rises, she changesshowing us all her beautiful shadesReaching out over the grass, caressing all she meets.
