a letter to the inner child : it's okay

'look at you, you naive child'

look at you. you're so naive: natural. unaffected. how do you do it? you smile so brightly as if nothing's ever harmed you. you can't hide. you've been thru thr fire. how do you stand in the flames, sweat pouring down your face, and you welcome them as waterfalls you've traveled to experience? look at you, you child... child of the universe. playing. exploring. you don't know wtf you're doing. and yet here you are... how do you do it? love as if noone's hurt you. you give and you give and you forgive - and just, live. you live like you're made of dreams • love • sun • stars • breeze • trees ~ look at you. you are the very fucking thing that reminds me... all this, now, is the only place I ever desire to be.

short poem : 'avo toast'

it happens: you feel that pain in your heart in that place you imagine stabbing yourself, you look at this avocado toast made with love and it feels hard to eat because you barely want to live... (written on 2019•12•25 in Ashland, Oregon)

short poem : 'some times'

some times a thought triggers tears an experience triggers fears these fears feel physically real i love crying. i love to feel. i love to be here. some times are easier than others some times you choose to tell yourself out loud that life is worth living and repeat it until it feels real i love this life. i love to live. i love to thrive. written on 2019•12•25 in Ashland, Oregon

a letter to the inner child : it's okay

Here are the words my younger self “wishes” she heard. Here is how I am nurturing my inner child now: by reminding her that it’s okay... to dream, to play, to faith ~ (written on 2019•12•20 in Tempe, AZ)
