Flowers Unable To Thrive

When a flower
fails to bloom
we do not chastise,
we ask ourselves why
it’s unable to thrive,
do all we can
to help it survive.
We’re patient, we’re kind
give it space
give it time.
Imagine then,
if we applied
the same love
and kindness
to you,
and to I
oh, my.

A Dreamer And A Badass

She’s a dreamer,
And a badass,
And a romantic
To the bones.

She’s the moon,
Stars, earth,
Water,
And fire.

She’s fierce,
And soft,
Fabulous,
And forever.

Heal Your Mood

Yoga, I’d add yoga to this list if appropriate of course. After any workout my mood is lifted. Meditation also helps. Bad moods come and go, so let them go by at least trying the items on this list, it’s better than wallowing in your shit. How do you cope with bad moods?

That’s What Art Is

Those moments you feel alone, those moments you are alone and storytelling, be it in the form of film, song, some medium that drags you from the depths of despair. That is what art has done since the beginning of time, that’s why humans value it so much. It saves us and keeps us going when nobody else can. For all those who contribute to that, thank you. When was the last time art held you when a body could not?

Strength In Scars

All that you’ve survived is what makes you beautiful. Scars hold stories of your strength, proof that you healed. When’s the last time you overcame something? Are the scars you need to accept mental, emotional, or physical?

How Do I Know If…

Can’t explain how many times my gut nudged me that there were red flags. Even when I couldn’t see it, I felt it. My instinct has never been wrong, all the guys I proceeded with caution with eventually showed their true colors. When it’s true love you won’t feel something lurking underneath the surface. The person will be transparent and created specifically for you. They will respect you, they won’t play games, they will be loyal and won’t pit you against other people. Wait for it, it will come.
