The beauty within you

Perfection is an illusion, it makes us believe we have to be like the ones we see online or in magazines. It makes us think that we need likes, follows and shares to feel important and to be seen. It’s a trap to make you think you are less than because you look different than what “society” says we should look like. 

I am flawed, but I am also alive, breathing, and evolving. I embrace my flaws as the fractured fragments that make me whole, for it is in these cracks that the light of resilience and authenticity shines through.

Flaws give texture to the masterpiece that we are. We are masterpieces, just as we are. Don’t ever change your true canvas for anyone. I see you and I see how beautiful you are. Keep shining that beauty.

Eternal last dance

it was the final dance 
the waltz of destiny
enticing two souls to embrace 
sharing the fleeting moments 
they had left
the pull was undeniable 
the world around them blurred 
fading into the background 
as their bodies moved
in perfect harmony
their steps whispered a story
each twirl and dip 
was a cherished memory 
engraved in the hands of time
and as the final notes 
of their dance drew near
their souls entwined
in an eternal dance
a silent confession of a love 
that would forever remain
for in that final twirl 
they had etched an indelible memory
a legacy of a last dance
that would forever
illuminate their souls

My warrior women

For all my ladies, all my warriors, and all my queens – this is an ode to you. Yes, YOU!

be confident
be strong
never bow down
don’t be defined by anyone 
don’t allow your past to determine your path

and when someone tells you all the things “they think” you cannot be, you keep pushing forward and make it known that you cannot be stopped, you WILL NOT be stopped

let others see the fire in your skin and the crown’s power upon your head. You are bathed in sunlight for a reason. You are right here and right now for a reason. We need to be building each other up and seeing the true beauty in ourselves and others 

never seek the approval of others, for it’s not needed as you already know your worth

so, all my beautiful ladies, this is for you. I believe in you, I stand with you, and I am part of you

A million diamonds

A million 
little diamonds
sparkle 
in the night’s sky
lying here 
underneath them
with you 
by my side
we dream 
a thousand dreams
before we even 
close our eyes
beneath
our starlit sky
we’ll dream 
a thousand more
before
the twinkle fades
close our eyes
and make a wish
upon our shooting star
and
just for tonight
know we really aren’t 
that far

hush now 
my love
for a million ones
shine 
just for us

12 years here!

Wow! My own space here for 12 years. 12 incredible years here! Holy fuck! Met some incredible people, including my best friend Christopher. Thank you for your true friendship, it’s been such an honor to even know you. You’re just such a beautiful human and more of what this world needs. Honestly, there are many here who I consider to be great friends and to know them outside of WP has been such a fulfilling thing in my life. I love you guys, I mean that.

I’ve lost a lot here too. Not just in the blog world but in my own, some are just more devastating than others in many ways. I’ve cried too many times, laughed, loved so much, grown up here really. Life has been hard, it’s been wonderful, heartbreaking, incredible, trying and fun, but I’m still here. Writing along. Thanks for being on this journey with me. I hope to be here another 12 with you all.

Thank you all for being on this journey with me. A journey I started a long time ago and hope to continue to share a part of my soul with you all. Much love!
