Grievingly Beautiful
(adj.) Grief, the violinist of the soul
It draws the bow across your heartstrings: sorrowful, trembling, hauntingly beautiful.
Exquisite in its ache.

Hauntingly Beautiful
(adj.) Silk wrapped tightly around the heart.
You open your mouth, but no sound comes out.
Ethereal, almost ghostly.
A strange kind of soothing.

You don't have to punish yourself for not having the life you thought you would have.

We all have baggage but why take it everywhere with you?
It’s not even a pretty bag.

For those living more softly:
How do you honour slow living and still meet the clock without losing your calm?
Where do you draw the line between presence and punctuality?

Dear wild woman,
Stay feral,
don’t be a afraid to show teeth

Comparisons are like parasites
eating away at your self-esteem
until all that’s left
is a #shadow of who you could be.

You are the dream, the nightmare, and the dream within the nightmare that becomes a dream.

Sometimes being in your own head clouds your reality.

dancing feels like a prison
in my own body.

shadows rise —
the air thickens
in my chest.

i hear the whispers of my phone,
that abysmal void.

escapism follows.
guilt trails close behind.

what do i do
with a soul meant to dance
when shame keeps my body
frozen?

do i let it win?

Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves,
riding the shadow wave of the soul,
we drown ourselves.
