When a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, it takes hours to pump blood into its wings so it can fly. However, this is necessary, and not forced. It flows. Allow things to flow to you. No matter the outcome. Because if at any point in time, you’re shoving a situation to fit, it could fall…

No Glory But My Own
She idled off of every word before she attempted this. I’ve spent the last month and a half rushing behind her because no one else would. We were in a good spot, then she looked at me, her eyes glazed with envy and deceit. Her lips curled up as she fashioned her neck back as…
My Solutions In Regards to Sustainability
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? Accumulation is normal. Giving things away is normal as well. Throwing things out is wasteful. Especially if it can be used again. I focus on buying items that will last longer than a season. Despite popular belief in this day and…
Spirituality is Self
Before I begin – you don’t have a spirit…you are a spirit. Driving a meat suit. On a random rock, hurdling through space time. With that being said, my spirit and my practices are very important. To narrow it down, everyone has their own individual journey. The road you take is on you – I’m…
Affirming Boundaries
It seems as though it would be simple, but it sometimes isn’t. My favorite thing about this topic that I’ve learned is the idea has been misconstrued! When we think self care, we always assume it’s shopping and bubble baths. When in fact, it is setting healthy boundaries, saying no and doing for ourselves. And…

Versus What She Said
I’ve come to terms that not everything is as it seems. That I am okay with. What I don’t like is when I choose the stability within that mindset, and someone attempts to usurp it. Don’t you want me to be stable? Yesterday, my signal was terrible. It turns out, it was all over. I…
Lossless
Creating a looming distance between what you’re told and what you know to be true is insane. But I’d rather operate on my own wave length, than pretend that what I hear is normal, or worse. To act. I would descend in such a way, that I would strip myself bare from my own intelligence…
Entirely Up to You
Nothing is certain – perhaps more so that things are ever changing. Because of this type of evolution, it amazes me when someone has managed to stay in one place. However, I have done so myself and I suffered greatly for it. The mind can open doors, or barricade you in, it’s your choice. There…
Hyper Feminine – Stories
Metallic pale pink, pale pink Guess sneakers. Perfectly styled hair, light makeup. I was minding my business, headed across town to the beauty supply store. It was a beautiful, late spring day in 2019. I really just wanted to get out of the house. I needed a moment. Truly, I didn’t feel like myself. I…
