The world feels upside down,
louder by the minute,
and stacked against the good.
But you’re still here—
heart steady, spine intact.
That’s not nothing.
That’s how revolutions begin.

Keep going.
Not because it gets easier—
but because stopping won’t make it hurt any less.

Behold: you’ve survived another morning.
Put on pants if you must.
Eat something shaped like a circle.
Go confuse the world
by being exactly yourself.

I want you unafraid—
every laugh, every curve, every yes
a hymn to how good it feels
to want and be wanted
without apology.

Your hair still smells like sleep.
I press my hand to your hip,
just to feel you lean into it—
like a question
I already know the answer to.

July 4th.
The grills are hot,
the beer is cold,
and nobody’s talking about yesterday.
Funny how freedom still throws a party
the morning after it signs itself away.

It’s harder now, sure—
to speak and not sound like
you’re drowning others out.
But hard isn’t the same as unfair,
and decency doesn’t cost
as much as you keep telling yourself it does.

Some hearts are built like gardens—
room for more than one bloom,
each with its own sun,
its own season,
and no need to wither for the others to thrive.

The dishes again,
the same old walk,
but the light hit the sink just right—
and suddenly,
it all felt like living.
